Summary:Vulvar edema appears as a manifestation in many diseases rather than (being) a disease. It does not have a specific etiology; it can appear as a result of allergic, inflammatory and neuro- logical diseases affecting vascular and/or lymphatic system, or trauma. In its etiology there are her- pes infections, Bartholin abscess, lymphogranuloma venereum, Crohn's disease, Behcet's disease, which are of infection origin. Vulvar edema in pregnancy is a rare clinical condition that often appears at the third trimester, is due to lymphatic obstruction and toxemia of pregnancy. In this paper we present a 25-year-old female patient who was primipara, developing edema of the vulva arising from recurrent Bartholin abscess at the second trimester of pregnancy. After the examinations, vulvar edema was attributed to Bartholin abscess caused by bacterial colonization due to traumatic coitus.
