By Mayo Clinic Staff. Amniotic fluid embolism occurs when amniotic fluid or fetal material enters the mother's bloodstream. Why this happens isn't well understood. A likely cause is a breakdown in the placental barrier, such as from trauma.
However, amniotic fluid embolisms are rare â and itâs likely that some amniotic fluid commonly enters the maternal bloodstream during delivery without causing problems. Itâs not clear why in some cases this leads to an amniotic fluid embolism. Further research on what causes amniotic fluid embolisms is needed. Due to the rarity of Amniotic fluid embolisms, it is difficult to identify risk factors. Itâs estimated that there are between 1 and 12 cases of amniotic fluid embolism for every 100,000 deliveries.
