Abstract
- Amniotic embolism is a fatal disease with an abrupt onset and rapidly deteriorating clinical course. Its clinical features are various and the prediction of its occurrence is very difficult. Understanding its pathogenetic mechanisms has increased over the past two decades. We report on a case of amniotic embolism along with its full clinical manifestations after a normal delivery in the young primigravida.
