Urinary bladder carcinoma as apparent cause of antepartum haemorrhage in pregnancy.
A 34-year-old multipara presented with painless profuse genital bleeding during the third trimester of pregnancy in a state of hemorrhagic shock. Haematuria because of urinary bladder carcinoma was found to be the cause of bleeding. Cystoscopy was useful for accurate diagnosis as well as for achieving haemostasis. This case emphasizes the possibility and importance of haematuria when dealing with a patient with antepartum haemorrhage.
