[Eisenmenger syndrome and pregnancy. Apropos of a case].
A case of Eisenmenger syndrome associated with an ongoing pregnancy and maternal death one month after cesarean section is reported. The review of the world literature shows the very high maternal risk of this condition, which should be prevented by tubal sterilization or therapeutic abortion in the very early pregnancy.
