Abstract

Uterine necrosis is a rare condition, it is considered a life-threatening complication. A few cases of uterine necrosis are reported in the literature most of them complicating embolizations, occurring after postpartum hemorrhages or severe endometritis. We describe a case of uterine necrosis occurring after a caesarean section, the results of the CT scan simulated a textiloma.
