Fig. 9. —33-year-old woman with amniotic fluid embolism. Patient was not responsive to induction of labor and proceeded to cesarean delivery. While uterus was being sutured, patient had tonic-clonic seizure followed by cardiac arrest. Supportive measures were instituted, but patient died 3 weeks later. Anteroposterior chest radiograph obtained shortly after cesarean delivery reveals mild cardiomegaly and bilateral lung opacities that are denser on left side. Findings were attributed to asymmetric pulmonary edema caused by presumed amniotic fluid embolism.
