| description | Pulmonary edema is one of the most serious complications of preeclampsia, that should be ruled out in case of dyspnea in a pregnant woman, especially in the context of preeclampsia. It is an indication of urgent pregnancy-termination. Many theories have been proposed to explain this phenomenon, such as hypervolaemia, left ventricular failure and pulmonary capillary leakage, but it is still not well understood. The prognosis is generally good after adequate management and symptoms completely disappear withing a few days of delivery. We report a case of a 30 year old woman with pulmonary edema that complicated preeclampsia and discuss the management options. |
