| Popis: |
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. The management includes a spectrum ranging from mechanical and pharmacological to surgical methods. The authors report a case of a 24-year-old primigravida who presented with complaints of abdominal pain, distension, fever, and diarrhoea a few days after her delivery. She had postpartum haemorrhage, for which compression sutures were applied. On radiological investigations, she was diagnosed with myometrial necrosis, following which she underwent a subtotal hysterectomy. Myometrial necrosis is a common complication encountered in the setting of postpartum haemorrhage secondary to compressive sutures. An early diagnosis and an appropriate management requires adequate radiological investigations. |
