Abstract
Introduction: Spontaneous rupture of a uterine vessel during labor is rare.
Case Report: A 41-year-old multigravida presented with spontaneous hemoperitoneum one day after spontaneous vaginal delivery with no prior history of cesarean section. Laparotomy revealed a bleeding vessel on the right lateral posterior aspect of the uterine serosa, which led to hemoperitoneum causing hemorrhagic shock and a spontaneous surgical abdomen.
Conclusion: Uterine surface vessel rupture is rare and difficult to diagnose. However with close observation to vital signs and symptoms, immediate resuscitative efforts could be taken.

Keywords: Hemoperitoneum, Labor, Pregnancy, Spontaneous uterine vessel rupture
