Spontaneous rupture of vaginal varicose veins mimicking placenta praevia

Vaginal varicosities are often an asymptomatic venous disorder that rarely occur in pregnant women. There is little information in medical literature concerning diagnosis and management.1 We present an isolated incident of spontaneous rupture of vulvar varicosities mimicking the presentation of placenta previa. It was successfully managed with a simple surgical approach done under local anesthesia.
