ABSTRACT
Primary pulmonary hypertension is a rare disorder and rarely present in pregnant woman, but it make high risk of maternal morbidity and mortality. When a woman with subclinical primary pulmonary hypertension is pregnant, physiologic increase in maternal plasma volume aggravates pulmonary pressure cause cardiac arrest and maternal death. We diagnosed primary pulmonary hypertension in a pregnant woman who didn't present any symptoms before pregnancy but had dyspnea from 2nd trimester of gestation. She expired due to sudden aggravation of pulmonary overloading. We reports this case with brief review of literature.
