title: [Intra-uterine fetal death syndrome--not only a gynecologic problem].
abstract: Intra-uterine fetal death may seriously affect maternal health and implies considerable risk of maternal death, especially when clotting and septic disorders arise. Management od IUFD should include removal of the triggering mechanism for DIC, antiinfectious prophylaxis and consider prompt evacuation of uterus. Low-dose heparin therapy is safe and offers sufficient protection against coagulopathy associated with IUFD. Treatment with low-dose aspirin, steroids or substitutive ACTH therapy is useful for patients with a poor obstetrical outcome. Etiopathology of IUFD, complications, methods terminating of the pregnancies has also been presented.
