Spontaneous post-partum rupture of an ovarian artery aneurysm: a case report of successful embolization and a review of the published work.

It is rare for an ovarian artery aneurysm to rupture during the peripartum period, but the outcome can be catastrophic. Between 1980 and 2013, only nine cases have been reported in the English-language medical published work. We describe a patient with a left ovarian artery aneurysm that ruptured 4 days after an uneventful vaginal delivery.
