description A mother and her child constitute an essential part of the healthcare system. Maternal death due to obstetrical causes is tragic for the family and the healthcare system. A maternal near-miss is a woman who survived problems during pregnancy and childbirth and has been examined as an intermediary for maternal deaths. Reviews of such situations are viewed as a less risky strategy by the service provider to improve maternal health care. This will allow us to take advantage of possibilities to prevent the deaths of mothers who may meet a similar fate. This is the case of a survivor of pregnancy termination challenges whose concealed history eventually led to a series of events compromising her health to a near-mortality condition. Providing complete information to a clinician is a crucial component of quality healthcare, as a family is the first in contact with a patient. The significance is evident in this case report.
