Abstract: Background: Uterine or hypogastric artery embolization is a useful alternative to hysterectomy in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. Case: Puerpera requiring a bilateral hypogastric artery embolization for postpartum hemorrhage after cesarean section in a term twin pregnancy.

Conclusion: Buttock necrosis is a rare complication after hypogastric artery embolization in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.
