[Hemoptysis in Pregnancy]. Pneumologie. 2019 Mar 20;: Authors: Forster F, Schulte W Abstract Here we present an extremely rare but important cause of pulmonary hemorrhage during pregnancy. A 41-year-old patient was seen with hemoptysis in the 29th week of her pregnancy which was initially assessed as unspecific inflammation. At the 34th week of pregnancy, she presented again, this time with hemoptoe and dizziness caused by an unknown idiopathic pulmonary AV malformation. The patient underwent extensive interdisciplinary evaluation including bronchoscopy, emergency cesarean section was performed, which was followed by CT scan and VATS/minithoracotomy with segment resection.
