Prompt delivery is usually mandatory in this situation. We report a case of a 33-year-old woman, gravida 5, para 3 + 1, at 26 weeks + 3 days\u2019 gestation who had severe placental abruption involving 40% of the placental surface complicated with maternal moderate anaemia and thrombocytopenia. In view of the extreme foetal prematurity and stable condition of both mother and foetus, expectant management was undertaken. The pregnancy was further complicated by foetal growth restriction detected 2 weeks later. At 30 weeks of gestation, an emergency caesarean section was performed for foetal distress. The surgery was uneventful and she delivered a live baby with good Apgar scores. This case report illustrates an atypically satisfactory pregnancy outcome of severe placental abruption. Conservative management of severe placental abruption is possible in rare cases, taking into consideration the gestational week as well as the maternal haemodynamic condition and foetal well-being. When severe placental abruption is confounded by severe prematurity, a decision on whether to prolong the pregnancy to improve the perinatal outcome and neonatal survival needs to be carefully weighed against the usual management option of immediate delivery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/hmbci-2018-0059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,17]],"date-time":"2019-01-17T04:01:56Z","timestamp":1547697716000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A \u201cmiracle\u201d pregnancy outcome of severe placental abruption"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Joyce Chin Sing","family":"Ting","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Sibu Hospital, Ministry of Health Malaysia , 96000 Sibu, Sarawak , Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiu Sing","family":"Wong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Sibu Hospital, Ministry of Health Malaysia , 96000 Sibu, Sarawak , Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soon Leong","family":"Yong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Sibu Hospital, Ministry of Health Malaysia , 96000 Sibu, Sarawak , Malaysia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine , SEGi University Sibu Clinical Campus , Sibu, Sarawak , Malaysia , Phone: +6017-9197139"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcus","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Sibu Hospital, Ministry of Health Malaysia , 96000 Sibu, Sarawak , Malaysia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine , SEGi University Sibu Clinical Campus , Sibu, Sarawak , Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121207073320026_j_hmbci-2018-0059_ref_001_w2aab3b7b1b1b6b1ab1b6b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ananth CV, Lavery JA, Vintzileos AM, Skupski DW, Varner M, Saade G, et al.
