Evaluation of two cases of sickle cell anemia and thalassaemia in pregnancy Selda Demircan Sezer Gynecology and Obstetrics Department, Adnan Menderes University, Aydın
Case 1: �G 2 P 1, 33 -year-old, 7 wks' gestation �Heterozygote for beta-thalassemia + hemoglobin S �History: ES / 15 days interval until delivery �Vaso-occlusive crisis in present pregnancy �Exchange transfüsion (5 times) and 2 -3 U ES given/1 month interval until delivery �Hb (hemoglobin): 6, 8 -8, 7 g/d. L
Case 1: �Caesarean section (CS) because of previos CS history �Exchange transfusion made before CS � 3440 gr baby, 1 st Apgar score 9, 5 th Apgar score 10, male fetus delivered �Postpartum 2 U ES �No complication
Case 2: �G 2 P 1, 37 -year-old, 17 wks' gestation �Double heterozygote for beta-thalassemia and hemoglobin S �Obstetric History: No Exchange transfüsion and intrauterin fetal death at term, DIC �No vaso-occlusive in present pregnancy �Exchange transfüsion 7 times and 2 -3 U ES /1 month interval until delivery
Case 2: �Hb: 6, 2 -8, 4 g/d. L �At 38 th wk planned CS made becaause of previos intrauterin death � 2 U exchange transfusion preoperative � 3120 gr, 1 st Apgar score 6, 5 th Apgar score 7, male fetus �Intrapartum 1 U ES �No complication
Pregnancy increases the incidence of sickle cell specific complications: �Anaemia �Vaso-occlusive crisis, abdominal, pulmonary (acute chest syndrome) �Placental thrombosis �Infections (urinary tract infection, pyelonephritis, pneumonia) �Toxemia
Pregnancy increases the incidence of sickle cell specific complications: �Maternal death �High risk of spontaneous abortion �Intra-uterine growth retardation �Intra-uterine fetal death �Preterm delivery �Perinatal mortality related to hypoxemia and placental thrombosis
Evaluation of sickle cell anemia �Specific management program �A close multidisciplinary approach for the duration of the pregnancy, the delivery and the postpartal period �In tertiary maternal health services level �Blood transfusion depends on teams �Restricted maternal, obstetrical and hematologic indications
Summary �Fetal mortality and morbidity high �Intrauterine growth retardation �Fetal death being the most frequent fetal complications �The rates of prematurity and caesarean section �A multidisciplinary and specific approach �Manage efficiently pregnancy, delivery and postpartum
