Zahar Azuar Zakaria et al. J Obstet Gynaecol Res. 2020 Nov.

Abstract

Inner myometrial laceration is a rarely encountered intrapartum uterine trauma, which usually present as post-partum hemorrhage (PPH). The diagnosis can only be confirmed by direct examination of the uterine cavity but it should be suspected in PPH with good uterine contraction. Discussed here are the characteristics and management of the reported cases including two women managed at our center.

Keywords: critical care obstetrics; inner myometrial laceration; post-partum hemorrhage.
