Jaina, a 23-year-old optician, was rushed to the hospital with severe lower abdominal pain and low blood pressure. Examination and tests revealed that Jaina had raised serum levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), blood in her peritoneal cavity, and an ectopic pregnancy. The embryo had implanted into the anterior wall of her rectum and had eroded a branch of the superior rectal artery causing an intra-abdominal bleed.
