Abstract

Fifteen cases of uterine and adnexal findings in the nongravid female were identified among 220 exploratory laparotomies performed for blunt abdominal trauma. These include: 13 cases of ovarian cyst hemorrhage, one case of ovarian laceration, and one case of uterine and vaginal lacerations. All patients had positive peritoneal lavage. In 13 of the patients in this series, the bleeding was associated with and in proximity to an existing corpus luteum.
