Abstract

Hydrocarbon injection in domestic accidents or attempted suicide especially in pregnancy is not extensively discussed in the literatures. We have reported a case of a 21-years-old pregnant woman who referred to hospital suffering from abdominal pain and dyspnea. After evaluation, she was diagnosed as a case of abscess in right upper quadrant (RUQ) and right lower quadrant (RLQ) due to petroleum injection as well as fetal death in an attempt of suicide. This article comprises an illustrative rare case of petroleum injection during pregnancy with subsequent fetal death.
