• The case highlights the necessity of recognizing listeria monocytogenes risk during pregnancy, especially with placenta previa.
• Next-generation sequencing applied to amniotic fluid can aid in diagnosing listeria early in affected pregnancies.
• Uterine artery embolization may be performed to support fertility preservation in complicated cases.
• The findings suggest a need for heightened awareness and improved diagnostic approaches for managing listeria infections.
