AbstractThis paper presents two case reports of amniotic fluid embolism quite identical in the onset of symptoms, 1,20 hr, respectively 1,40 hr after extraction of the fetus during delivery by caesarean section, both births were induced by prostaglandins. Both newborns were male. One patient died with autopsy providing evidence of massive pulmonary embolism, laboratory findings showed hemolysis. The second patient survived with neurological disorders, laboratory findings temporarily showed nonspecific antibodies. Both patients were subdued to hysterectomy, no trace of amniotic fluid components were found in the uterine vessels in either one of them.
