Abstract

Objectives: Discuss the clinical aspects and the management of perigenital hematoma, a rare complication of delivery that can engage the vital prognosis.

Cases: We report 4 cases of peri-genital hematomas recorded in the department C of obstetrics and gynecology, in the maternity center of Tunis. In two cases, the patients had only medical treatment and in the two others arterial embolisation was performed.

Conclusion: The diagnosis is evoked in front of an unexplained hemorrhagic choc with perineal pain. Upon diagnosis, the patient must be rapidly managed associating resuscitation, surgery and angiographic embolisation.
