Abstract

Background: The early postpartum hematoma represents a rare complication which can appear in the early post-partum period. Its formation and development is favoured by the hypervascularization of the genital area during pregnancy and by the cellular hormone-dependent laxity of the tissues which favours its apparition and diffusion. Description of the case: We present a rare situation of a large bilateral Bartholin glands hematoma at a 27-years-old, primiparous female, who had experienced a prolonged labour, ended by a caesarean section. Conclusion: Early postpartum hematoma is a rare condition which might need in selected cases a surgical approach in order to resect the compromised structures.
