摘　　要：Introduction: The occurrence of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) is a traumatic event not only for the mother and her family but also for the obstetric team. IUFD is a common event. Objective: the aim of our study is to describe the epidemiological, diagnostic and management aspects of IUFD at the Sylvanus Olympio University Teaching Hospital (CHU SO), Lomé. Methodology: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection process that concerned cases of IUFD from January 1st 2023 to December 31, 2023 at CHU SO. Results: The hospital prevalence of IUFD was 2.43%. The mean age of the mothers was 30.6 ± 6 years. The Multigestures represented 32.52% and primiparous women represented 29.72%. Pregnant women were referred in 88.11% of cases;47.55% had done at least 4 antenatal care visits and 4.20% had a history of IUFD. The etiological factors of IUFD were preeclampsia in 28.67% of cases, retroplacental hematoma in 28.67% and premature rupture of membranes in 4.55% of cases. Misoprostol was used for artificial induction of labor in 57.14% of cases and the delivery route was vaginal in 75.87% of cases. Conclusion: The frequency of IUFD is high and its reduction remains a challenge in low-income countries.Introduction: The occurrence of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) is a traumatic event not only for the mother and her family but also for the obstetric team.
