Rupture of an ovarian artery aneurysm in the peripartum period occurs in both traumatic and atraumatic settings. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of spontaneous atraumatic rupture of the bilateral ovarian arteries. This report describes a multiparous recently post‐partum patient with abdominal pain and signs of hemodynamic compromise, the sequela of hemoperitoneum from ruptured bilateral ovarian arteries. With a multidisciplinary approach, this patient was successfully treated with transarterial embolization.
