A rare case with double trouble: Peripartum cardiomyopathy and preeclampsia together with placental abruption resulting in both cardiac and kidney failure.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are not very uncommon in routine practice, but when associated with abruptio placentae and significant hypotension, survival of both child and mother becomes challenging. We report a case of a 20-year-old primigravida who presented in the gynecology emergency unit of our hospital with an ejection fraction of < 20%, severe preeclampsia with abruptio placentae leading to fetal demise, and renal failure in the immediate postoperative period. Challenges faced during decision making regarding the mode of delivery and grave concerns during intraoperative and postoperative periods are discussed. In this case, prompt termination of pregnancy, various point-of-care sonographic measurements, and post-operative emergency dialysis played vital roles in the complete recovery of this patient with a failing heart and grossly jeopardized hemodynamics. Hence, multidisciplinary team-based management is crucial for managing such cases to prevent maternal mortality and morbidity.
