Abstract:

Broad ligament pregnancy is a rare ectopic pregnancy of a special site. This article reports a rare case of rupture of broad ligament in mid-term pregnancy with hemorrhagic shock. Reviewed its clinical data and combined with the literature, the clinical characteristics and treatment of broad ligament pregnancy were analyzed and summarized. The clinical manifestations of the patient are not specific. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. Misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis often occur, and most of them are found in intraoperative exploration. In early pregnancy, laparoscopic broad ligament gestation lesion removal is feasible. If diagnosed in the second trimester of pregnancy, if the fetus is large, or if there is massive abdominal bleeding or shock in the abdominal cavity, laparotomy should be performed as soon as possible to save the patient′s life and reduce mortality.
