[Massive gestational vulvar edema. A case report and review of literature]. 2014

Sabina Martí-Gamboa, and Ricardo Savirón Cornudella, and José Manuel Campillos-Maza

We report the case of a 22-year-old primiparous, admitted to our hospital with a 2-week history of vulvar edema that had evolved within 24 hours to the point of stopping urine flow and hindering ambulation. The only remarkable finding in relation with the edema was hypoalbuminemia for no apparent cause. The correction of hypoalbuminemia and the establishment of diuretic treatment, with the drainage of the edema allowed for a complete resolution of the edema.
