Abstract
Severe postpartum hemorrhage can result from laceration of the genital tract during delivery. Hematomas may occur, but they often extend deep into the underlying tissues, frequently in the pelvic extraperitoneal space. Because of the relatively small amount of external hemorrhage, hematomas may be overlooked until the patient shows signs of shock [1]. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and recognition of the spread of hematomas are essential. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the imaging findings of postpartum hematomas located in the extraperitoneal space of the pelvis.
