Case Report of Cervical Birth Trauma Leading to Postpartum Haemorrhage in Teenage Pregnancy

 

Abstract

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage PPH is an extremely important, and regrettably, an indelibly common complication of childbirth affecting nearly 10% of all deliveries. When it occurs, it is however, extremely rare to find a cervical injury as the primary cause of bleeding. We present this report as reminder that this may in fact be so. This is important, because if not identified, haemorrhage may continue unabated, leading to a heightened risk of maternal harm and escalating morbidity.

Case: Presents a 16-year-old woman following unassisted vaginal delivery complicated by postpartum haemorrhage from a spontaneous cervical tear. Appropriately identified, the injury was successfully repaired by suture during EUA in theatre under regional anaesthesia.

Conclusion: An incidence of cervical injury leading to significant postpartum haemorrhage following spontaneous vaginal delivery that was successfully managed leading to safe, effective, early care.
