title: Successful pregnancy outcome in Bernard-Soulier syndrome.
abstract: Bernard-Soulier syndrome is a rare bleeding disorder, and there is scant literature on the pregnancy outcome in women with this syndrome. Due to the bleeding tendency in this disease, pregnant woman may have ante-, intra- or postpartum complications. We report our experience of managing a pregnant woman with Bernard-Soulier syndrome who had a successful pregnancy outcome, and review the existing literature on pregnancy in women with this syndrome.
