[Parametrial hematoma after forceps delivery].

We report on a large intraligamentous haematoma developed after low forceps delivery. The diagnosis was made from symptoms and signs, rectal examination, and sonographic findings. The haematoma was incised and clots were evacuated by laparotomy. The bleeding vessel could be ligated. The 31-year-old woman left our hospital on the 12th postoperative day.
