May-Hegglin anomaly in a pregnancy complicated by intrauterine growth restriction and ambiguous genitalia.
OBJECTIVE
Thrombocytopenia as a hematologic disorder complicates up to 4% of all pregnancies. May-Hegglin anomaly is a rare cause of low platelets in pregnancy.


METHODS
A case of May-Hegglin anomaly complicating pregnancy and intrauterine growth restriction in a fetus with ambiguous genitalia is described.


RESULTS
The antepartum and intrapartum diagnosis and management of a patient diagnosed with May-Hegglin anomaly is discussed. The involvement and consultation of a perinatologist, neonatologist, internist, and anesthesiologist is reviewed, with emphasis on the mode of delivery.


CONCLUSIONS
The potential maternal and fetal complications associated with May-Hegglin anomaly warrant early pregnancy diagnosis and access to a tertiary care facility.
