Postpartum Vesicouterine Hematoma Following Cervical Tear: A Rare Case Report
Abstract: This case report describes a rare presentation of postpartum vesicouterine pouch hematoma resulting from a cervical tear extending into the lower uterine segment. A 26-year-old multiparous woman presented on day 3 after vaginal delivery with severe abdominal pain and hematological abnormalities. Imaging revealed a concealed hematoma communicating with the endocervical canal. The patient was managed with exploratory laparotomy, hematoma evacuation, and surgical repair of the uterine defect. Early diagnosis using imaging and prompt multidisciplinary intervention resulted in a favorable outcome. This case highlights the importance of considering concealed pelvic hematomas in postpartum patients with unexplained anemia and abdominal symptoms.
