ABSTRACT
Amniotic fluid embolism, one of the leading causes of maternal death, is a rare event, however, it can cause maternal death and neonatal morbidity when it unrecognized and untreated effectively. Its pathogenesis is unclear and clinical presentations are variable without standardized means of confirming diagnosis. We experienced one case of neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy possibly due to maternal amniotic fluid embolism, which was diagnosed by brain MRI, EEG and maternal uterine pathology. We report this case with a brief review of literatures.
