Abstract

BACKGROUND: Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a life-threatening obstetric emergency. Because the maternal mortality associated with AFE is very high, early recognition and prompt treatment are important for improving the prognosis. We report a case of amniotic fluid embolism successfully treated by multidisciplinary treatment.
