| Popis: |
A prenatal diagnosis for fetal disease was performed at 20 weeks gestation in a severely affected patient with type IIA von Willebrand disease. In the fetal cord blood sample obtained under ultrasound guidance, the level of von Willebrand ristocetin cofactor activity was similar to that of von Willebrand factor antigen, and all the multimers were present. These results were compared to those obtained in 51 normal fetuses of similar gestational age (19-21 weeks). Normal fetuses showed slightly lower levels of von Willebrand factor than normal adults and in addition to all adult multimers, the presence of unusual large forms. This data compared with the case, allowed the exclusion of the diagnosis of type IIA von Willebrand disease in our patient's fetus. This was confirmed at birth in the cord blood. |
