Abstract:
The obstetrical follow-up of patients with a severe hypofibrinogenemia requires a multidisciplinary collaboration because of potential maternal-fetal complications (recurrent miscarriages, intrauterine fetal demise, post-partum hemorrhage, thrombosis). We report the obstetrical management of a multiparous patient with a severe congenital hypofibrinogenemia associated with a platelet disorder (abnormal phospholipid externalization). A therapeutic strategy based on a biweekly administration of fibrinogen concentrates associated with enoxaparin and aspirin allowed the maintenance of pregnancy. But this last one got complicated by a placenta percreta requiring a salvage hysterectomy with an appropriate hemorrhage prophylaxis.

Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
