Abstract

A late complication of CVS by forceps biopsy is reported. It is the immediate formation of a retroplacental hematoma on the location of the sampling which is revealed by a bleeding across the cervix. During all the pregnancy retroplacental hematoma and bleeding will persist until the delivery by cesarean section at 31 weeks of amenorrhea. Such a late complication has not been reported in the literature.
