Abstract

SOARES, Cristiana; VALENTE, Maria Pulido  and  RIBEIRINHO, Ana Luisa. The importance of postpartum placental examination. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.2, pp.189-190.  Epub June 30, 2021. ISSN 1646-5830.

The authors present a case of a retained lobe of an unsuspected succenturiate placenta after a normal vaginal delivery. Succenturiate placenta has a reported incidence of 5% and can be responsible for maternal morbidity as it increases the risk of vasa previa and retained placenta. This case emphasizes the importance of a complete placental inspection in the delivery room.

Keywords : Placenta disease; Pregnancy complications.
