title: [Anesthetic management for cesarean delivery in a patient with May-Hegglin anomaly].
abstract: May-Hegglin anomaly (MHA) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia and giant thrombocytes and continuous appearance of inclusion bodies (Dohle like corpuscles) in the cytoplasm of granulocytes. A 26-year-old woman with MHA underwent cesarean delivery under general anesthesia, although she had no history of bleeding. The platelet count was 4.9x10(4) microgl(-1) the day before surgery. There was no unusual bleeding during and after the operation and we did not give her platelet transfusion.
