ABSTRACT
@#Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) can be defined as loss of pregnancy on or before 20 weeks of gestation. About half of the cases, cause of recurrent miscarriage is unknown. Bleeding disorders induced miscarriage has to be thoroughly investigated for the sake of both mother and fetus. Here is an interesting case report of a 24-year-old patient who was diagnosed to have afibrinogenemia after three consecutive miscarriages. Fibrinogen level was 5 mg/dl with prolonged prothrombin time greater than 180 seconds and activated thromboplastin time greater than 180 seconds. We managed with periodic cryoprecipitate transfusion. Pregnancy course was uneventful and delivered a healthy female child at 34 weeks of gestation under supervision of multidisciplinary team. Here we are discussing the management and how we approached the case to have a successful pregnancy outcome.
