Abstract

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. We retain that platelet aggregation inhibitor therapy remains an important aid in eliminating the risk of throm­bosis determined by the presence of two conditions that are predisposed to these risks, such as pregnancy and essential throm­bocytosis.
