Abstract

ABSTRACT:
Abruptio placentae is a severe pregnancy complication that occurs in about 1% of gestations. This pregnancy complication has been found to increase maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality considerably. The purpose of presenting this case report is to show that abruptio placentae can be presented in a different way apart from the classical presentation, and to show the association between Rh-isoimmunization and abruption placentae. The way to reach the diagnosis and how to manage the case has been also discussed thoroughly.
