Massive Puerperal Hematoma: A Rare Form of Post-Partum Hemorrhage: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
The puerperal hematoma is a rare but severe form of postpartum hemorrhage. Its management although not yet consensual, sometimes requires a skill and a special technical platform. We report the case of a 22-year-old patient who was referred to us for the management of an enormous puerperal hematoma occurring in the immediate postpartum, requiring both medical and surgical management. This complication reminds us of the importance of rigorous monitoring of postpartum patients but also of the need for careful hemostasis during the repair of perineal tears or episiotomy. Keywords:Pelvic hematoma, puerperal hematoma, postpartum hemorrhage.
