AB  - Diagnosing pulmonary embolism during pregnancy and the postpartum period can indeed be challenging
due to overlapping symptoms with normal pregnancy changes. It's important for healthcare providers to
maintain a high index of suspicion and use appropriate diagnostic tools, such as imaging studies like CT
pulmonary angiography or ventilation-perfusion scans, while considering the maternal and fetal risks
involved in the diagnostic process. We report a case of postpartum subsegmental pulmonary embolism.
