Pregnancy in a patient with essential thrombocytosis
An insurgent case of pregnancy in a patient in whom essential thrombocytosis was diagnosed five years earlier is described Pregnancy was confirmed and therapy with platelet aggregation inhibitor was introduced. The pregnancy reached full term notwithstanding a positive result of the “Triple Test” during the 15th week of gestation. A histology exam of the placenta revealed an ischemic lesion.
