Fetal and neonatal thrombophilia.
Thrombophilia of the fetus and neonate may contribute to higher prevalence of perinatal thrombosis. Due to the potential interaction between thrombophilic risk factors of the neonate and maternal thrombophilia and placental vasculopathy, we recommend thrombophilia assessment be performed in any child and in the mother in case of perinatal thrombosis. Further attention and larger prospective studies are required to establish the role of thrombophilic risk factors in the pathogenesis of any other perinatal complications.
