[Acute Generalised Peritonitis Due To Post-Abortal Uterine Perforation: A Case Report From Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital].

We report a case of generalized acute peritonitis following an unsafe abortion complicated by uterine perforation. The patient was a 32-year-old woman admitted for abdominopelvic pain evolving in a febrile context, with an 8-week history of amenorrhea. On admission, clinical examination revealed a picture of generalized acute peritonitis. Abdominopelvic ultrasound and plain abdominal X-ray revealed an intra-abdominal foreign body (a full pencil). Surgical exploration confirmed generalized acute peritonitis secondary to uterine perforation, with approximately 200 ml of purulent fluid and a complete pencil found in the peritoneal cavity. Combined medical and surgical management led to a favorable outcome.
