Edema vulvar masivo en preeclampsia severa

We report the case of a pregnant woman with pregestational diabetes who developed severe preeclampsia in week 22 of pregnancy culminating in acute massive edema of the vulva and acute edema of the lung. A Medline search was performed to identify published studies related to this topic. Acute vulvar edema in pregnancy can be predictive of serious complications and consequently intense monitoring is mandatory. In our patient, Cesarean delivery was performed at week 26, due to serious maternal complications.
