Postpartum preeclampsia complicated by acute pulmonary edema.
Peripartum acute pulmonary edema can occur in patients with preeclampsia-eclampsia. Although the pulmonary edema frequently develops in the postpartum setting, the preeclampsia-eclampsia typically occurs antepartum. Postpartum preeclampsia also can occur with acute pulmonary edema following a relatively normal gestation and delivery.
