Abstract

We report a case of a membrane disruption at 19 weeks 3 days of gestation complicated by a consumption coagulopathy with clotting tests suggesting primary fibrinogenolysis rather than a disseminated intravascular coagulation usually seen in such cases. A review of the literature revealed 5 cases of coagulopathy during the second trimester of pregnancy among which only two were suspected to be associated with primary fibrinogenolysis. Management of this coagulopathy is discussed.
