Abstract EN
Background.
This is a case of 18-year-old adolescent girl admitted with profuse vaginal bleeding following induced second trimester curettage abortion at 13 weeks of gestation.
Case.
Her transvaginal sonogram detected retained products of conceptus, and her blood reports revealed a full blown picture of DIC.
Dilatation and evacuation was done after initial resuscitation with packed RBCs and platelet concentrates.
She had an uneventful recovery period.
Conclusion.
DIC is an extremely life-threatening condition which can occur as a very infrequent complication of second trimester abortion.
