Whether a patient with PE is at high risk for uterine necrosis after UAE for PPH has been unknown. A 30-year-old primipara woman was diagnosed with PE based on hypertension and proteinuria during delivery. UAE was performed for PPH after forceps delivery. After UAE, the patient presented with pleural effusion and massive ascites as well as persistent fever unresponsive to antibiotics. Ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) led to the diagnosis of uterine necrosis, for which we performed total laparoscopic hysterectomy. It should be kept in mind that patients with PE associated with massive ascites may be at high risk for uterine necrosis after UAE due to decreased uterine perfusion.
