ABSTRACT
Postpartum endomyometritis is an important cause of maternal morbidity, especially after cesarean delivery. The management of postpartum endomyometritis is primarily medical with surgical intervention only occasionally required. But the gas forming abscess rarely happens, making the medical treatment difficult and needing emergency hysterectomy. We present a case of post-cesarean delivery endomyometritis complicated by intrauterine gas formation penetrating myometrium, which could not be managed by medical treatment, so finally needed emergency hysterectomy.
