Abstract

Introduction Ectopic deciduosis is a common finding in pregnant patients and is rarely symptomatic. Decidua is the name that is applied to the mucous membrane of the uterus in preparation of the ovum during the cytotrophic phase of gestation. Although it is a common phenomenon, there are only nine reported cases of life-threatening intraperitoneal hemorrhage and one incidence of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage during pregnancy in the English language since 1900. We present a unique case of life-threatening hemorrhagic deciduosis at the time of caesarean section.
