She denied any history of chest pain, back pain, fever, sore throat, runny nose or rash. She had undergone a caesarean section 24 h ago, which was uneventful, and she was stable postoperatively. Her medical and obstetric history were insignificant. The patient had had regular antenatal visits and her antenatal history was insignificant for any cardiac illness and/or preeclampsia. There was no history of any tocolytic administration or drug abuse.The aetiology of acute-onset dyspnoea in the post partum period is diverse. However, subtle clinical and radiological findings assist in early diagnosis and definitive management, thereby conferring better prognosis and survival. https://bit.ly/361b4qm ER -
