Labial edema in pregnancy. A case report.
Edema is a frequently encountered medical sign in pregnancy. Edema confined strictly to the labia, however, is not as common. This report describes severe labial edema in a patient with a twin gestation while on intravenous magnesium sulfate tocolysis. The tocolysis could have initiated the process of labial swelling in the presence of other, predisposing factors.
