ABSTRACT
Women with severe preeclampsia or eclampsia who develop pulmonary edema most often do so postpartum and some of these women have cardiac failure. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is defined as a cardiac failure occurring in the latter part of pregnancy or in the peripartum, without obvious cause and prior evidence of heart disease. It is very rare but the mortality rate is as high as 10~50%. Here, we describe a case of a woman who has undergone emergency Cesarean section due to complicated severe preeclampsia with acute pulmonary edema and peripartum cardiomyopathy at 33+1 weeks of gestation.
