Venous thromboembolism in pregnancy. A case report of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in puerperium
The authors describe a case of DVT during pregnancy in a 41-year-old woman who had a normal haemocoagulative picture during pregnancy and in puerperium (PT PTT, S protein, C protein, ATIII, xdp and fibrinogenous). All the haemocoagulative dosages were within the norm and compatible with the gestation period. Both homocysteine and antiphospholipid antibodies (mostly in puerperium) were always within normal limits. The authors believe that DVT occurs infrequently but it is also unforeseeable. Systematic heparin prophylaxis for seven to ten days, ante- and postpartum, can prevent this problem.
