Abstract

The paper presents a case of uncomplicated pregnancy in 26-years old primipara suffering from congenital arteriovenous fistula. The clinical picture of disease was manifested by presence of vaso-dilatations in lower and upper limbs and in the vulva, because of which the pregnancy was terminated by cesarean section. Puerperal and postoperative outcome was uncomplicated. In the puerperal period heparin and large-spectrum antibiotic therapy was administered. No cardiovascular or thromboembolic complications were observed. Authors are of opinion, that in face of menace, the pregnancy and labour in the women presenting arterio-vascular fistula have to be considered as situation of high obstetrical risk.
