Abstract Due to the thrombohemorrhagic potential of essential thrombocythemia, pregnancy complicated by essential thrombocythemia should be recognized as a risk factor for obstetric complications. Here, we report the case of a patient with essential thrombocythemia with two significantly different pregnancy outcomes. Her first pregnancy (at 30 years of age) ended with an uneventful term delivery. However, the patient progressed to cavernous transformation of the portal vein in the period between her two pregnancies and subsequently experienced deep venous thrombosis during the first trimester of her second pregnancy (at 36 years of age). The patient’s platelet count during pregnancy was within the normal range, so she ignored previous instances of essential thrombocytosis (at 26 years of age). The patient’s main symptom was unrelieved pain in her leg. After that, she was successfully treated with anticoagulant throughout her entire pregnancy, resulting in a term vaginal delivery. This case highlights the importance of assessing pregnant patients with essential thrombocythemia according to their risk stratification. Specifically, risk assessments for potential pregnancy complications should take into account advanced maternal age and a previous history of thrombosis. Patients with essential thrombocythemia should be encouraged to participate in preconception counseling for risk assessment and to initiate prophylactic anticoagulation as soon as possible. |
