| Popis: | Pregnancy complicated with Eisenmenger syndrome is associated with high risk to the fetus as well as the mother. There is approximately 50% risk of sudden maternal death, frequently occuring a few days postpartum and the overall fetal wastage is reported to be up to 75%. Patients with Eisenmenger syndrome are advised to refrain from pregnancy or to terminate pregnancy by the end of first trimester itself. Management of these patients requires a co-ordinated multi-specialist care when such pregnancies reach a stage where safe termination is not advisable. However, inspite of all the risks, a few patients deliver successfully with a good maternal and neonatal outcome. We present a 27-year-old unbooked G3 P1 A1 L0 admitted at 34 wk gestation with Eisenmenger syndrome. She was treated medically during pregnancy, underwent elective Caesarean section at 37 wk of gestation delivered a healthy baby and was subsequently discharged on the 10th postoperative day without any serious complications. |
