Abstract
We report the case of an ovarian injury caused by traffic accident. A 22-year-old woman received chest and abdominal injuries after falling a height of 5m from her moving car. She was initially diagnosed as having hemorrhagic shock with intraperitoneal hemorrhage. We therefore operated to examine her internal injuries and stop the bleeding if we could locate it. Finally, we detected bleeding from the corpus luteum cyst and a tumor in the ovary and sutured the bleeding area for hemostasis and resected the tumor. The clinical course was uneventful after the operation. Although, blunt ovarian injury is a rare occurrence, according to the literature, we should keep this type of injury in mind in female blunt abdominal trauma patients.
