HEMATOMA AND The conditions known as puerperal hematoma and thrombosis are occa-sionally present before the birth of the child, and under these circumstances,if sufficiently large, may constitute an obstruction to the presenting part (). This accident has a special significance in twin pregnancies, for while itmay not occur sufficiently early to obstruct the first child, it may interfere withthe birth of the second. Treatment: If the birth of the child is actually obstructed or if rupture of the tumor is threat-ened, the usual practice is to per-^ ~- form incision and extract the child / ) as soon as possible, after which hemo- - ? ~ .- stasis is indicated.
