GODOY, Carolina; GUZZO, Vanessa  and  VIROGA, Stephanie. Spontaneous hematoma of the broad ligament after a normal vaginal delivery: Case report. Anfamed [online]. 2020, vol.7, n.2, e401.  Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 2301-1254.  https://doi.org/10.25184/anfamed2020v7n2a5.

Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the main causes of maternal death with high morbidity and mortality. The broad ligament hematoma represents an unusual entity, difficult to diagnose, in which clinical suspicion is determinant. The clinical case of a patient with a spontaneous broad ligament hematoma after a vaginal delivery is presented. An active management with laparotomy and antibiotic therapy was chosen, obtaining a satisfactory evolution with hospital discharge at 30 days. The case is discussed, after reviewing the available bibliography.

Keywords : delivery complication; broad ligament; hematoma; postpartum; hemorrhage.
