Abstract: Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide. According to the time when postpartum hemorrhage develops, it is classified as (a) primary, or early, postpartum hemorrhage (within the first 24 hours after delivery) or (b) secondary, or late, postpartum hemorrhage (>24 hours to 6 weeks after delivery). Primary postpartum hemorrhage may be caused by uterine atony (75%-90% of cases), trauma of the lower portion of the genital tract, uterine rupture, uterine inversion, bladder f… Show more

“…Intrauterine gas may be seen in the early postpartum period and may persist for as long as 3 weeks as a physiologic finding in the absence of other clinical symptoms. [11][12][13] In our case the uterine enlargement did not change in three weeks, as seen on ultrasounds and on CT scans, and the gas content was also intraparietal as well as inside the uterine cavity. The CT attenuation of the myometrium was irregular as previously seen in the literature.…”

“…During the first day after CS, it can be difficult to distinguish normal early postsurgical modification from possible uterine and pelvic complications. To date, only a few articles described the normal and acute abnormal CT findings of the female pelvis after CS (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). The aim of this article is to review the surgical technique of CS, and describe the expected normal and abnormal CT findings after CS as well as describe the most common acute complications.…”

“…Cesarean delivery requires incision in the abdominal wall (laparotomy) and uterine wall (hysterotomy) (5). The most frequently performed surgical technique is the low transverse CS via a Pfannenstiel or Joel-Cohen skin incision (2-3 cm above the symphysis pubis); this type of uterine incision is usually recommended because it is related with less postoperative pain and blood loss, and it has the lowest risk for rupture in subsequent pregnancies (1,5,6).…”

“…This pattern is explained by the pressure gradient between a distended high pressure pseudo aneurysm and a low pressure artery during diastole. The feeding arteries and outline can be confirmed by detector Computed Tomography [2].…”
