Antepartum pulmonary embolism is a condition carrying a high maternal mortality, yet treatment with anti-coagulation can reduce the mortality to less than 1%. The true incidence is difficult to establish because of problems in confirming the clinical diagnosis. We report here a case of maternal pulmonary embolism complicating pre-eclampsia and hypertension. The difficulties in establishing a firm diagnosis are high-lighted. A brief review of the incidence, predisposing factors, diagnosis and management is presented. The total management of the patient is discussed in some detail.
