Abstract

A 41-year-old woman was admitted with hemorrhagic shock with abdominal and right flank pain four days after undergoing cesarean delivery. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a large retroperitoneal hematoma. Angiography showed a ruptured right ovarian artery aneurysm, anastomosing with a dilated uterine artery. She was successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization.
