[Disseminated intravascular coagulation disorder in the 2d trimester of pregnancy. Case report from the 16th week of pregnancy with spontaneous parturition at term]

A life-threatening second trimester disseminated intravascular coagulopathy with protein s deficiency

Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) is an uncommon but serious complication of pregnancy. Placental abruption is the most common associated condition among the causes of acute obstetrical DIC. We present a case of life-threatening DIC complicating placental abruption in the second trimester of pregnancy with protein S deficiency as a triggering factor, which necessitated urgent termination of pregnancy.
