Mortality of a postpartum woman presented with massive vulvar edema in association with Covid-19: a case report with clinical and radiological findings.

2021 
In this case report, we presented a rare case of maternal death with massive vulvar edema and Covid-19 diagnosis. The case was a 20-year-old woman who was referred to with pain and massive vulvar edema by passing 7 days from her labor. The laboratory tests showed leukocytosis, lymphopenia, and elevated C-reactive protein levels. The high-resolution computed tomography was in favor of Covid-19 changes. Finally, she died because of respiratory distress, ON the 8th day postpartum. Given the increasing prevalence of Covid-19, it is important and vital to be aware of its potential complications and then to try prevent and manage them, especially during high-risk periods such as pregnancy and postpartum.
