Postpartum haemorrhage is most often diagnosed by visualizing external vaginal bleeding, however, in some cases the bleeding may be internal, which significantly increases the risk for delayed diagnosis. We present a case report of a puerperal woman with delayed diagnosis of internal postpartum haemorrhage, which is caused by the development of a Couvelair’s uterus after caesarean section, resulting in an acute hysterectomy.
