Abstract

Broad ligament haematoma is a rare complication following a normal vaginal delivery. We report one such case of a woman who developed this complication within 3 hrs of normal vaginal delivery. She is G2P1L1, 38 wks GA, in active labour. Pt was allowed for spontaneous progression of labour, following which she delivered vaginally. Within 3 hrs patient looked clinically very pale with vitals being deranged and complains of inability to void urine, severe perineal pain. On basis of clinical examination and transabdominal ultrasound features a diagnosis of right sided broad ligament haematoma was made. Based on patients haemodynamic instability surgical management in the form of obstetric hysterectomy was done.
