To all those who share our passion for improving outcomes in medically complicated pregnancies

Firstly I would like to acknowledge my co-authors, who contributed to this book with energy and enthusiasm despite the massive pressures of working clinically during the pandemic and simultaneously keeping life going at home with their families. We are very grateful for the help and guidance provided by Caroline, Sylvia and their team at OUP which resulted in such a smooth and swift publishing experience.

Finally, I must thank Matt, Emilia, Alexander, Oliver and Theo for their unfailing support and patience whilst I undertook another book!

Thank you to Professor David Williams for his wisdom and encouragement as a friend and mentor, Professor Cathy Nelson-Piercy for inspiring me to work in this field, and Pete, Martha and Edward for their patience whilst I have contributed to this book.

Thank you to Amma, Cathy and Richard for inspiring me; to Hannah, Kit, Barnaby and Laurie for distracting me.

Case histories have always had an important role in medical education, but most published material has been directed at undergraduates or residents. The Oxford Case Histories series aims to provide more complex case-based learning for clinicians in specialist training and consultants, with a view to aiding preparation for entry- and exit-level specialty examinations or revalidation.

Each case book follows the same format with approximately 50 cases, each comprising a brief clinical history and investigations, followed by questions on differential diagnosis and management, and detailed answers with discussion.

At the end of each book, cases are listed by mode of presentation, aetiology, and diagnosis. We are grateful to our colleagues in the various medical specialties for their enthusiasm and hard work in making the series possible.
