ABSTRACT
Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) associated with uterine venous plexus thrombosis is very rare. This was recently observed in a puerperal woman without significant medical history. The woman had two pregnancy-associated risk factors for venous thromboembolism, which were obesity and cesarean delivery. A day after cesarean delivery, she presented with dyspnea and cyanosis. When transferred to a larger hospital, no pulse was detected, and she was pronounced dead. Autopsy examination revealed that the cause of death was related to PTE, apparently due to thrombi that originated in the uterine venous plexus.
