Abstract

Coitus and cunnilingus during pregnancy are generally safe; whereas orogenital sex involving vaginal air insufflations can be very dangerous, causing even the death of the women. We carried out a search of case reports and reviews concerning air embolism during pregnancy due to orogenital sex. Physicians consultations must cover all the rules of safe sexual behavior, including avoidance of vaginal air insufflations in the third trimester.

Keywords: Air embolism, cunnilingus, orogenital sex, pregnancy
