Malignant pulmonary edema in a pregnant woman caused by cor triatriatum.
Undiagnosed maternal congenital heart disease can result in significant risks to both mother and fetus. When maternal symptoms and signs are atypical of preeclampsia, broadening the differential diagnosis and multidisciplinary consultation can lead to improved outcomes. ⋯ A complete differential diagnosis for edema, hypertension, and dyspnea near term will allow for recognition of more rare conditions. Referral to cardiology in cases in which work-up is negative for preeclampsia may aid in earlier diagnosis and management. A team approach to management involving obstetrics and medicine will improve the rapidity with which rare conditions can be managed effectively.
