The uterine hemorrhage-type of atypical AFE [16,26,27,30-36,38]: This subclass was considered when the initial presentation of AFE was peripartal bleeding that deveoped without antecedent cardiopulmonary disturbances. Quite frequently it was massive uterine hemorrhage immediately followed by the delivery of the placenta. Uterine atony and coexisting consumption coagulopathy (DIC) induced by an embolic bolus of amniotic fluid could be seen as a cause of hemorrhage. Thus, subclinical consumption coagulopathy would show up rapidly with the moment of placental period of labor or cesarean section. In the past, the diagnosis was considered certain if circulating epithelial squames were found. However, the credibility of such evidence was discredited (failure to distinguish between fetal and maternal squames) [39]. The idea to search for meconium components and lanugo hairs in the circulating blood instead of epithelial squames seems justified [21].
