[Massive corpus luteum hemorrhage in a dialysis patient]

A 17-year old patient who was continuously dialyzed due to Fanconi-anemia and bilateral renal insufficiency developed an acute and severe bleeding from a ruptured Graafian follicle (corpus luteum). The bleeding was life-threatening, most likely due to the continuous treatment with heparin necessary for hemodialysis procedure. Differential-diagnostic considerations and interdisciplinary therapeutic measurements are reported.
