Objective: Describe the epidemiological, clinical and prognostic aspects of newborns from mothers managed for placental retro hematoma.

Patients and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study over 24 months in the neonatal medicine department of the CHUMEFJE. All neonates, born against a background of placental retro hematoma were included. The parameters studied were, frequency, clinical picture, management and complications.

Results: 137 newborns were included, a prevalence of 1.3%. The mean gestational age was 34.9 SA; the sex ratio was 1.2. The average age of mothers was 29.1 ± 6 years. In 55.7% of cases, at least 4 prenatal contacts were made. Gravid arterial hypertension was observed in 31.3% of the cases, among them, 80.5% had a severe form. SHER grade III retro placental hematoma was observed in 49.6% of cases. Caesarean section was the voice of delivery in 97.8% of cases. Fetal death in utero was observed in 47.4% of cases. Of the 72 live newborns, 59.7% were hospitalized in neonatology. The top 3 complications observed were metabolic (81.4%), respiratory (62.8%) and hematological (46.5%). Perinatal mortality was 56.2%. Factors associated with this mortality were GRADES II and III of SHER and gestational age < 37SA (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Retro-placental hematoma remains a serious pathology associated with high neonatal mortality.
