Massive Vaginal Hematoma - A Complication of In Vitro Fertilization.
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada : JOGC 2018 January
BACKGROUND: The rates of serious complications from IVF with transvaginal oocyte retrieval are low. However, as the usage of IVF continues to increase, more complications are presenting to acute care and physicians should be aware of management issues.
CASE: A 36-year-old, gravida 4, para 1 woman presented to the emergency department with significant vaginal hemorrhage and severe abdominal pain after undergoing a routine transvaginal oocyte retrieval. She was taken to the operating room and found to have extensive lacerations of the posterior vaginal mucosa and a large vaginal hematoma tracking to the retroperitoneal space.
CONCLUSION: This case represents a previously unreported but possible complication of oocyte retrieval. Although oocyte retrieval complications are not frequently reported, significant vaginal and pelvic vascular injury and hemorrhage can occur. Physicians should be cognizant of trauma that can occur secondary to vaginal instruments and not just intraperitoneal injuries.
