First report of case of congenital afibrinogenemia with successful delivery.

AbstractWe report a case in which pregnancy was sustained in a woman with congenital afibrinogenemia with delivery by cesarean section. From this case it appears that a plasma fibrinogen level greater than 60 mg/dl would maintain implantation of the placenta and fetus even in the event of complications occurring during pregnancy.
