title: Spontaneous resolution of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy in the second trimester.
abstract: Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy is a serious complication of pregnancy. Therapy includes treating the underlying cause, maintenance of blood volume, replacement of depleted clotting factors, and often delivery of the fetus and placenta. We present a case of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy occurring at 19 weeks' gestation that resolved spontaneously with conservative management.
