Spontaneous rupture of an ovarian artery aneurysm in the puerperium presents with consistent histological and histochemical changes in the vessel wall across reported cases.
This report describes the histological changes associated with spontaneous puerperal rupture of ovarian artery aneurysms.
A case of spontaneous puerperal rupture of an aneurysm of a branch of the right ovarian artery is reported and the histological and histochemical changes in the vessel wall are described. Identical changes were also seen in a similar case, previously reported. Some of the factors involved in the pathogenesis of these unusual vascular lesions are discussed.
