On algebraically maximal valued fields that are not defectless

Abstract: We use a known example of an algebraically maximal discretely valued field of positive characteristic $p$ which admits purely inseparable extensions of degree $p^2$ with defect $p$ to construct algebraically maximal valued fields of characteristic $p$ as well as of characteristic $0$ and of rank 2 which admit separable extensions of degree $p^2$ with defect $p$.
