    Abstract:
    Post-partum haemorrhage remains a major cause of maternal mortality. Surgical management may be needed in patients with hemodynamic instability. Arterial embolization may be needed in case of persisting haemorrhage despite initial surgical management. We report a case of buttock necrosis occurring after pelvic embolization to control refractory post-partum haemorrhage and failed subtotal hysterectomy with bilateral internal iliac arteries ligation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of buttock necrosis complicating a severe post-partum haemorrhage reported in the literature.
