Thrombopénie et grossesse : A propos d’un cas et revue de la littérature

Thrombocytopenia occurs in about 10% of pregnant women. This could be due to a normal variant of pregnancy (gestational thrombocytopenia), a pregnancy-specific condition (preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome) or a condition exacerbated by pregnancy (ITP, vasculitis, PTT). The prognosis and treatment vary enormously, based on the underlying cause. Gestational thrombocytopenia (accidental thrombocytopenia of pregnancy) is a mild, asymptomatic thrombocytopenia that usually occurs late in pregnancy. There is no association with fetal thrombocytopenia, and maternal thrombocytopenia disappears spontaneously after delivery.
