What will you think of ?????????
SECONDARY PPH Excessive bleeding starting any time from
24 hrs after delivery up to 6 wks post partum , mostly 8-14 days
COMMON CAUSES Retained products of conception Sub involution of the placental bed Endometritis
RARE CAUSES Pseudo aneurysm of uterine artery AV malformation Choriocarcinoma
When common causes have been ruled out think of rare causes.!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hazy fatty stranding and edema in parametrium region seen. Linear hypodense lesion-probable post operative changes in lower anterior body region of uterus seen measuring 0.9 cm in thickness. Moderate hyperdense localized free fluid in POD seen approximately measuring 5.7 x 4.3 cm – suggest haemoperitoneum within the pelvis.

Introduction
Pseudoaneurysm of the uterine artery is an uncommon cause of delayed postpartum hemorrhage following cesarean or vaginal delivery.A uterine artery pseudoaneurysm develops when the uterine artery is lacerated or injured. While maintaining contact with the parent vessel, extravasating blood dissects through tissues, finally establishing a connection with the uterine cavity, causing a delayed hemorrhage.
Risks increased if … Extended uterine incision Additional hemostatic sutures
Both increase risk of arterial wall damage

The boundaries of a false aneurysm are constituted by thrombus, as opposed to the three arterial layers as in a true aneurysm. Although Doppler ultrasound can aid in the assessment, uterine artery angiography is necessary to make the diagnosis and provides the subsequent means for embolization.

A pseudoaneurysm is an extra-luminal collection of blood with turbulent flow that communicates with the parent vessel through a defect in the arterial wall.
The development of an arterial pseudoaneurysm is a rare but reported complication of pelvic surgery, vascular trauma during c-section or after uterine curettage.
After hematoma formation, there is central liquefaction that leaves a cavity with turbulent blood flow, as a result of persistent communication between that patent artery and the hematoma. The absence of a 3 layer arterial wall lining the pseudoaneurysm differentiates it from a true aneurysm, which is less common than a pseudoaneurysm.

Typically, the lesions are discovered because the patients have symptoms related to delayed rupture of the pseudoaneurysm causing hemorrhage.
A pseudoaneurysm may be asymptomatic, may thrombose, or may lead to distal painful embolization. The risk of rupture is proportional to the size and intramural pressure.Diagnosis is usually based on both Doppler sonography and arteriography. Transcatheter uterine artery embolization(UAE) has emerged as a highly effective technique for controlling obstetric and gynaecologic hemorrhage , including that from pseudoaneurysm.
