Intrapartum Hemorrhage Secondary to Decidua Peritonea

Shadi Seraji, Svetoslav Bardar

Abstract

Endometrial implants have long been noticed to decidualize during pregnancies. They have been reported in a variety of locations in the pelvis and abdomen. These lesions are usually noted incidentally with no negative sequelae. This is not always the case and we present a case of massive hemorrhage from decidualized endometriotic lesions during a cesarean section.
