Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is an uncommon but serious disease. Most patients with PPH are young women and the disease is more serious and eventful in pregnant women. We have experienced a patient with PPH in pregnancy, who was delivered successfully but died suddenly on the 7th day after the delivery. We report the obstetric course and the clinical management for the delivery of the patient with PPH.
