RESUMO
We report a case of spontaneous hemoperitoneum due to rupture of an omental arterial aneurysm. This source of bleeding is unusual (2 cases published); the diagnosis was made preoperatively by doppler ultrasound and CT scan with IV contrast. Omental resection was performed and histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis. A literature review of the rare cases of hemoperitoneum due to rupture of a digestive arterial aneurysm is done.

A 39-years-old woman was admitted with pelvic pain and fever occurring one month after a caesarean. An echography-doppler and an abdominal tomodensitometry were performed. Thrombophlebitis of the right ovarian vein was diagnosed with extension of a floating thrombus into the inferior vena cava. We decided to perform a surgical thrombectomy due to a pulmonary embolism which occurred while the patient was under heparin and antibiotic treatment. A temporary percutaneous caval filter was successfully used in the peri-operative period, preventing a second embolism. This observation focuses on a rare pathology occurring in young women and emphasises the safe use and removal of a temporary percutaneous caval filter in the peri-operative period.

This report describes an exceptional case of popliteal artery thrombosis secondary to exostosis of the superior extremity of the superior tibia in a young adult. Correct diagnosis was made during re-operation for recurrent thrombosis. Surgical treatment consisted of resection of the bony tumor and venous bypass to reestablish arterial continuity. Femoropopliteal vascular complications of exostosis are rare, with most cases involving arterial aneurysms or false aneurysms. Differential diagnosis in our young patient took into account the other causes of popliteal thrombosis: entrapped popliteal artery, adventitious cyst, fibrodysplasia, and juvenile arteriopathy. In patients with major functional disability, operative treatment is recommended to remove the bony abnormality and repair the arterial lesion.
