Retroplacental hematoma is a pocket of blood clot that accumulates between the basal plate of the placenta and the wall of uterus, causing the placenta to bulge toward the uterine wall into the peritoneal cavity. This in effect may compress the structures and compromise the blood supply to the fetus. Retroplacental hematoma represents one of the most common causes of perinatal mortality (85%) due to placental infarcation.
