Case Overview

A young female patient presented with symptoms of:

Severe abdominal pain
Sudden collapse due to massive internal bleeding
Hypotension (low blood pressure)

Clinical suspicion pointed towards a ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy – a life-threatening gynecological emergency.

Diagnosis: Ruptured Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the embryo implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus.
In this patient, the tube had ruptured, causing severe internal bleeding and shock.

This condition requires immediate diagnosis and surgical management to save the patient’s life.
