Fallopian tube rupture is most often a complication of a tubal ectopic pregnancy where the pregnancy breaks open due to progressive growth. It can potentially lead to shock.
Pathology
Risk factors
Factors that raise the risk for a tubal rupture in a given tubal ectopic pregnancy include 2-4:
history of pelvic surgery: tubal injury
ovulation induction
bilateral tubal ligation
history of pelvic inflammatory disease
previous ectopic pregnancy
high beta-HCG levels: >5000 mIU/mL
Radiographic features
Ultrasound
Can show a large amount of free peritoneal fluid and/or hemoperitoneum.
