摘要
The maternal mortality is rare and when it arises, the family often puts the medical profession in guilty's position. We present the case of a 38-year-old woman, died in the post-partum in a context of intense back pains. The autopsy found an incidental hemorrhagic syndrome to a two-stage rupture of the splenic artery. We shall discuss the aetiology. The autopsy and the anatomopathological examination are practiced only in hardly more than a quarter of the cases while they will be important in proceedings and will allow the family to go into mourning.
