Spontaneous Vulvar Hematoma in Labor: A Rare Presentation

Abstract

Vulvar hematoma during pregnancy is a rare event. Usually they develop due to trauma post-delivery. Rarely such hematomas appear spontaneously intrapartum without any underlying cause. A 25-year-old primigravida at 34 weeks with twin pregnancy was found to have developed spontaneously a vulvar hematoma intrapartum. Prompt recognition and timely drainage of the hematoma prevented any untoward complication and led to quick recovery.
