Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare occurrence, which accounts for about 10% of all maternal deaths. There is no single pathognomonic clinical or laboratory finding for this syndrome. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and supportive laboratory values. A case of acute embolic episode occurred during term labour in 32-year-old female patient with spontaneous rupture of membrane was presented. This case showed typical clinical findings of this syndrome. Caesarean section was performed immediately, but the baby and the mother died. In conclusion, AFE continues to be one of the most feared and devastating complications of pregnancy. It can be neither predicted nor prevented. The management of AFE is largely supportive.
