Abstract
We report a case of a 43-year-old grandmultipara at 26 weeks pregnancy with acute abdomen and in hypovolaemic shock. Urgent exploratory laparotomy revealed massive haemoperitoneum of 9 litres but the exact source of bleeding is obscured despite careful examination of the abdominal organs and vasculature. The patient recovered well post operation but the baby died in-utero.
