TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Acute traumatic gonadal vein rupture in a pregnant patient involved in a major motor vehicle collision JO - Emergency radiology A1 - Takehana, Christopher S. A1 - Kang, Young S. SP - 349 EP - 351 VL - 18 IS - 4 N2 - We present a case of a 29-year-old female in her second trimester of pregnancy with twin gestations who was involved in a major motor vehicle collision and subsequently diagnosed by multidetector computed tomography with retroperitoneal hemorrhage from a traumatic ruptured right ovarian vein. Gonadal vein rupture should be considered as a rare cause of hemorrhage when evaluating a pregnant patient who has sustained blunt abdominal trauma.
