RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: the purpose of this study was to report health care providers' experience of perineal rehabilitation in the Maternity Hospital of Abidjan by assessing their level of knowledge and their practical attitudes. METHODS: we performed a survey among obstetricians and midwives working in a Maternity Hospital in Abidjan over a period of at least two years. The information were collected using a questionnaire including direct, open and semi-open questions. RESULTS: the study included 120 practitioners, 66 midwives and 54 obstetricians. Seventy-nine point six percent of obstetricians and 37.9% of midwives worked in a university hospital. Midwifery knowledge was good or average in 25% of cases (interquartile range [IIQ] 16.8-48.3); 65% of obstetricians had a good or medium level of knowledge (IIQ 41.1 -48.3). The majority of providers summoned women in the postpartum period, but only 7 out of 10 caregivers performed perineal assessment and 2 out of 10 obstetricians suggested the need for rehabilitation. CONCLUSION: the low level of knowledge of Ivorian midwives and obstetricians regarding postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation and the lack of practice suggest the need for ongoing training.

The cavernous hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor. About 50 cases of this disease were found in the literature over the last century and only 9 cases of cavernous hemangioma on the pregnant uterus were published it comes into cavernous or capillary form. The symptomatology is not unequivocal and when it occurs during pregnancy or postpartum, it causes life-threatening cataclysmic hemorrhage. Antenatal diagnosis is difficult and requires a multidisciplinary approach with pathologists, radiologists and gynecologists to avoid these complications or unnecessary hysterectomies. The diagnosis is histological. Hysterectomy is possible after failure of conservative treatment means. We report a rare case, a novel mixed cavernous hemangioma of the body associated with a capillary hemangioma of the cervix in a patient of 28 years 5th visors with recurrent genital bleeding in the postpartum period leading to a hysterectomy.
