ABSTRACT

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a combination of pathologies, which can manifest during pregnancy as an isolated lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or as a pulmonary embolus (PE). The global prevalence is low, which occurs in 1 to 1600 pregnancies.
Clinical case: A 37-year-old primigravid patient with an episode of pulmonary thromboembolism with onset in the puerperium associated with intrapartum deep venous thrombosis as a triggering factor that evolved favorably due to timely diagnosis and treatment.
Conclusion: The importance of this case lies in the need to act quickly to establish the diagnosis and immediately indicate the treatment.
