Clin Case Rep. 2016 Jun 10;4(7):692-5. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.580. eCollection 2016 Jul.

Abstract

Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon can be encountered in the perinatal period. No consensus exists regarding prenatal management. We report one prenatal case leading to therapeutic abortion and one neonatal case, successfully treated by a multimodal therapy. Prenatal counseling should include the possibility of neonatal multimodal treatment that can lead to favorable outcomes.

Keywords: Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon; perinatal period; prenatal counseling.
