Abstract:
In this paper, we show the presence of an anticoagulant factor which induced a prolongation of the partial time of thromboplastin (PTT) in a 23 year old female with Gaucher's disease and premature delivery. We discuss the importance of this factor and the therapeutic efficacy of the total splenectomy in this type of patient when spleen enlargement poses problems for the evolution of pregnancy to the end.
