Early severe preeclampsia with marked platelet dysfunction in association with essential thrombocytemia: case report and discussion

Essential thrombocytemia--a classic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by persistent thrombocytosis--may associate both thrombotic and hemorrhagic events, as well as platelet dysfunction. Of all myeloproliferative neoplasms, essential thrombocytemia is more likely to be associated with pregna...

Summary:Essential thrombocytemia--a classic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by persistent thrombocytosis--may associate both thrombotic and hemorrhagic events, as well as platelet dysfunction. Of all myeloproliferative neoplasms, essential thrombocytemia is more likely to be associated with pregnancy, because of a higher comparative incidence in younger patients. This association significantly increases the risk of pregnancy loss and of various pregnancy complications. We present a case of early severe preeclampsia with a critical and unusual evolution and life-threatening complications.
