A case of congenital prothrombin deficiency and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in a pregnant female

Hereditary prothrombin deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder with an estimated incidence of 1 in 2 million [1]. Presentation of the disease is variable; however, it is usually associated with moderate to severe bleeding tendencies including muscle hematomas, hemarthrosis, intracranial, mucosal, and postoperative bleeding. Here we report a case of a 35-year-old pregnant woman with congenital hypoprothrombinemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, review the literature, and discuss its epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.
