The importance of postpartum placental examination
Abstract 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.
