Abstract | Introduction: Episiotomy is a procedure during vaginal delivery to facilitate a safer delivery. However, it can also have complications including hemorrhage, perineal tears, infections, and vaginal hematoma which should be managed and monitored carefully. Presentation of case: A 27-year-old woman with term pregnancy, had a normal vaginal delivery at 39 weeks of gestation, and a large episiotomy was performed due to the estimated neonate weight to prevent shoulder dystocia. She was complicated with a huge pelvic hematoma that was expanded to prerenal space. Discussion: This complication was managed by conservative therapy, including antibiotic therapy, intensive observation of the patient's situation, and follow-up with a CT scan after consulting with a radiologist. The huge hematoma was reduced. Conclusion: Noninvasive management and close monitoring for pelvic hematoma due to episiotomy in a low-risk patient are successful; however, consulting with radiologists and experts and a multidisciplinary approach should be considered. |
