When a graafian follicle ruptures to release an oocyte, it is transformed into a corpus luteum. The corpus luteum is lined by a layer of granulose cells which rapidly become vascularized; some of these thin-walled vessels can rupture. This causes bleeding into the corpus luteum, resulting in the formation of a hemorrhagic cyst of the ovary.

This case is of a young married female patient of 25 years age. She presented with bleeding per vagina and mild pain in the right side of the pelvis.

Sending you an image of placenta, in late pregnancy (3rd trimester). I think it is low lying. Question is: can it be called mild previa?

Mother is sure of LMP 17th Nov/98 ( EDD = 24/8/99). On ultrasound scan (17/7/99) the average gestational age is only 31 weeks, ie the ultrasound derived EDD=18/9/99.
