    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Pregnancy in women with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is contraindicated because of high mortality rates associated with physiological changes, particularly in the peripartum and postpartum periods. Termination is recommended early if pregnancy occurs. Consequently, clinical experience with continued pregnancy in patients with PH is scarce.
Case Presentation: A 31-year-old woman was diagnosed with multiple bilateral pulmonary and right ventricular hydatid cysts. After surgical and pharmacologic treatments, she developed PH due to pulmonary artery obstruction 8 years later. Because of her condition, she was ineligible for surgery and received medical therapy, including tadalafil, bosentan, and eplerenone. After 3 years, she conceived despite advice to avoid pregnancy. At 37 weeks&#x2019; gestation, she underwent successful emergency cesarean delivery because of maternal dyspnea and tachycardia.
Conclusion: Prompt treatment and regular follow-up in a tertiary care center using a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for managing pregnant patients with PH.</abstract>
