Abstract

Pregnancy induces many physiologic changes, and it can cause hemoptysis in relation to the underlying or potential pulmonary diseases. Although hemoptysis is not a frequent event during pregnancy, a thorough search for its etiology and then immediate management should be initiated for a case of massive hemoptysis to avoid serious adverse effects on both the fetus and the mother. Most hemoptysis events during pregnancy are related to well known etiologies, but there are a few reported cases of hemoptysis in pregnant women who are without any underlying lung lesion. We report here on a case of a pregnant woman with total lung collapse due to hemoptysis, and a thorough search for the etiology after delivery could not reveal any etiology.

임산부에서 객혈은 기저질환에 의해 2차적으로 일어날 때가 많지만, 기저질환이 없이도 임신중 호르몬 변화에 의한 혈관신생에 의해 일어날 가능성이 있다. 저자들은 임신시에 발생한 객혈로 인한 우측 전폐허탈을 보였으나 기저질환을 찾을 수 없었던 임산부 1예를 경험하였기에 이를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
