ABSTRACT
Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a dilated cardiomyopathy of unexplained cause that occurs during the last trimester of pregnancy or within 5 months after delivery. And, It is a rare disease that has a frequency of 1 in 1,300-15,000 deliveries. It has not yet been reported that peripartum cardiomyopathy has occurred in an preeclampsia woman superimposed on idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Moreover, the association between idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and peripartum cardiomyopathy has not been studied. Recently, we experienced a case of a woman who has undergone emergency Cesarean section due to complicated severe preeclampsia superimposed on idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. On the postoperative day, this patient developed respiratory distress and pumonary edema. Peripartum cardiomyopathy was diagnosed by echocardiography and we present with a brief review of literatures.
