Abstract

Hemorrhagic shock from PDA rupture is rare but with poor prognosis. Common presentation in the cases of acute spontaneous rupture of PDa are very sneaky. For this reason, about 49% of these patients died. Few cases are described in the literature. We described a 46 years old healthy patient that arrive in emergency per subacute abdominal pain and showed signs of hemorrhagic shock shortly after. Despite absence of precise guidelines of diagnosis and management, different experiences reported, had in common: (A) rapid resuscitation and transfer to the operating room (angiographic or surgical), (B) rapid control of the bleeding site (C) determination of exact cause of bleeding, and (D) definitive treatment by obliteration, excision, or both.
