(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-10-27) Jara Olivera, Diana Ines; Ayala Peralta, Félix Dasio
Preeclampsia is a complex syndrome with a wide variety of clinical symptoms and varying gestational ages of onset. In Peru, it is the second leading cause of maternal death, accounting for 32%, and the leading cause of maternal death at the National Maternal Perinatal Institute, with 43%. Preeclampsia is a disease of unknown and multifactorial origin, with the definitive treatment being delivery. It also causes significant consequences for both the mother and the newborn. The most common risk factor for preeclampsia is multiparity. Along with maternal age >35 years, obesity, and maternal anemia, a significant association has been observed. For clinical purposes, preeclampsia must be diagnosed early, as the most important objective is the prevention of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. This academic work presents a case of a pregnant woman at 34 weeks of gestation diagnosed with severe preeclampsia, with risk factors including multiparity, two prior cesarean sections, obesity, insufficient prenatal care, and a family history of hypertension. The patient presented with a complex clinical picture, suggesting the need for pregnancy termination by cesarean section after pulmonary maturation.
