Abstract:
A hematoma in the uterus or intrauterine hematoma is an effusion of blood that accumulates inside the uterine cavity during gestation. Hematomas, especially subchorionic hematomas, appear most often during the first trimester of pregnancy and can occur with or without vaginal bleeding. They are always a major cause for concern for pregnant women. We will consider pregnancy as a high risk pregnancy. It will then be necessary for the woman to keep rest and benefit from more exhaustive follow-up.
This work, carried out from a case observed in our service and from a review of the literature, aims to highlight the existence of this entity and the possible unfavorable development with fetal and maternal risks.
