“…Being a thin-walled vascular structure corpus luteum is prone to hemorrhage even if bleeding is usually contained inside the cyst [2]. Corpus luteum cyst-wall rupture is a rare complication that occurs most frequently in women in their reproductive age but it is relatively uncommon in early adolescence [6, 7]. When bleeding occurs, hemorrhage may spread into the peritoneal cavity causing hemoperitoneum [2].…”

Corpus luteum cyst rupture with consequent hemoperitoneum is a common disorder in women in their reproductive age. This condition should be promptly recognized and treated because a delayed diagnosis may significantly reduce women's fertility and intra-abdominal bleeding may be life-threatening. Many imaging modalities play a key role in the diagnosis of acute pelvic pain from gynecological causes. Ultrasound study (USS) is usually the first imaging technique for initial evaluation. USS is used to confirm or to exclude the presence of intraperitoneal fluid but it has some limitations in the identification of the bleeding source. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is the imaging modality which could be used in the acute setting in order to recognize gynecological emergencies and to establish a correct management. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) nowadays is the most useful technique for studying the pelvis but its low availability and the long acquisition time of the images limit its usefulness in characterization of acute gynecological complications. We report a case of a young patient with hemoperitoneum from hemorrhagic corpus luteum correctly identified by transabdominal USS and contrast-enhanced CT.

Minimal access surgery is increasingly becoming the preferred approach to surgical treatment. Experience in the last 15 to 20 years has established the efficacy and indeed safety of laparoscopic surgery in general surgical and gynecologic practice.Laparoscopic treatment in acute gynecologic emergencies raises questions of safety and feasibility when compared to open laparotomy.The objective of this study was to review the literature on the use of laparoscopy in the treatment of gynecologic emergencies so as to determine its role in current and future practice.The findings of this study indicate that laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic emergencies is feasible and safe. Further studies are needed to establish the safety of laparoscopic surgery for nonobstetric emergencies in late pregnancy.

“…We learn about the corpus luteum and its minimally invasive surgical management under circumstances of ''rupture.'' 1, 2 We then turn our attention to polycystic ovarian syndrome, which is featured in our ''Teach the Teachers'' section. 3 The question is: Are you aware of the current criteria In essence, we now have criteria to focus upon in establishing the diagnosis of PCOS, which indeed is a clinical diagnosis and does not require determination of FSH and LH.…”
