[INTRODUCTION]
Pulmonary edema is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, leading to impaired gas exchange and respiratory distress [1]. Pulmonary edema during pregnancy or the peripartum period, generally goes by various names such as Postpartum heart failure, postpartum heart disease, postpartum myocarditis, Meadows’ syndrome, idiopathic myocardial degeneration associated with pregnancy, Zaria syndrome, and postpartum cardiomyopathy [2]. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is an idiopathic cardiomyopathy occurring in the third trimester or up to 6 months post-partum and is seen most often in the first month postpartum [3]. Acute pulmonary edema during pregnancy and the postpartum period has an overall incidence of only 0.08% [4]. While it can occur in various clinical settings, including cardiac and renal disorders, it is rare in the postpartum period following normal vaginal delivery. However, when it does occur, it requires immediate attention and management to prevent serious complications.
