    AbstractThe authors report on the case of an amniotic fluid embolism, proven by post mortem, which was the result of an inaugural and irreversible cardiac arrest in a 37-year-old woman at 39 weeks of normal pregnancy. The Caesarean section was carried out as an extreme emergency in the labour room, while efforts were being made to resuscitate the mother, so as to deliver a living newborn without any neurological after-effects. The haemostatic consequences were showed up only on blood tests.
