Abstract

An unusual case of progressive systemic sclerosis with rapidly progressing renal failure after a successful delivery is described. The presenting syndrome was malignant hypertension. The blood pressure was refractory to the various therapeutic measures which were instituted, including hemodialysis. The patient, therefore, underwent bilateral nephrectomy, following which the blood pressure returned to normal, and she survived on hemodialysis for 17 months. To the best of our knowledge, the patient presented herein is the only reported case of this kind of fetal and maternal salvage.
