Abstract

A patient who developed thrombocytopenia and hypertension accompanied by high levels of antiphospholipid antibodies and abnormal liver function tests in the absence of a hemolytic anemia necessitating termination of pregnancy developed bilateral lower limb thromboses accompanied by painful maculo papular lesions on the palms of both hands a few days after ending the pregnancy. She was then also found to have a prothrombin gene G20210A mutation. She was treated with anticoagulation therapy, but her postpartum course was further complicated by pulmonary embolus. A Greenfield filter was inserted into the inferior vena cava. On low molecular weight heparin, her next pregnancy was uneventful and without any complications.
