Abstract

The authors are dealing with a case of a pelvic fracture (right superior pubic ramus) after a road traffic accident to a patient who arise a pregnancy with twins at twenty five weeks pregnant. Seven per cent of a road traffic accident affect pregnancy with a maternal death rate from eight to sixteen per cent and a fetal death rate up to fifty seven per cent. Pelvic trauma are more deleterious during the pregnancy because of the gravide uterus, of the abdominal injuries binding more often, and of pregnancy secondary maternal physiology which lead to delay diagnosis and therapeutics. Blunt fetomaternal consequences are ruled by pelvic haematomas, uterine rupture, prematurity, acute fetal distress, fetal injuries and in utero death. At mid and long range arise the problem of child birth way and the risk of mechanical dystocy. Cesarean is store in case of vesical and urethral injuries, or perineal injury, several pelvic fractures or in case of the pelvic belt fracture moved and not reduced, bringing to a surgical unsymmetrical pelvis. In the other cases, the obstetrical prognoses will be done after a dialogue with all medical staff and a full synthesis of the file based on the fetopelvic comparisons (obstetrics previous, clinic, fetal biometry, pelvimetry X ray).
