Grey Turner’s sign refers to bruising of the flanks. It appears as a blue discolouration and is a sign of retroperitoneal haemorrhage. Most commonly seen in acute hemorrhagic pancreati- tis. It is rarely seen in other causes where there is retroperitoneal haemorrhage.
Objectives: Haemoperitoneum post hysterectomy is a known complication which rarely pres- ent as bruises over the flanks.
Methods: Case of 40 year old women is described here, who underwent hysterectomy for fi- broid uterus and later had abdominal distension. Patient presented to us with discolouration over the flanks and was haemodynamically unstable. Patient was resuscitated and re-ex- plored.
Conclusion: Bruising over flanks (Grey Turner’s sign) is a rare presentation of haemoperito- neum post hysterectomy . This case aims to remind clinicians of the atypical presentation of haemoperitoneum following hysterectomy.
