Intrapartum vulvovaginal haematoma causing obstructed labour: an obstetricians nightmare

Vulval hematoma during pregnancy is a rare event. Typically, they arise as a result of postpartum trauma. Rarely do hematomas of this type develop spontaneously during labour without any obvious underlying cause for the same. Prompt recognition and timely drainage of the hematoma helps to prevent any untoward complication and leads to speedy recovery.
