Abstract
Feto-maternal bleed is a common presentation during pregnancy that may have adverse consequences on the perinatal clinical course of the infant and mother alike. Anemia is a common presentation of an infant secondary to feto-maternal bleed. Large volume feto-maternal bleeds may lead to severe neonatal anemia in the absence of obvious maternal symptoms. Hence, a high index of suspicion must be maintained in the absence of other obvious causes of neonatal anemia. We describe a case of an infant with severe anemia secondary to a silent feto-maternal bleed associated with a normal appearing placenta on examination and the absence of obvious maternal symptoms.
