title: Pregnancy and delivery in Bernard-Soulier syndrome.
abstract: This is the first reported case of a woman suffering from the Bernard-Soulier syndrome who terminated pregnancy and gave birth normally to a healthy child. Although a great number of platelet and fresh blood units were transfused before and after delivery, a hysterectomy was performed the next day as the only solution to stop persisting gross hemorrhage.
