[Adrenal vein thrombosis during pregnancy].
Pregnancy represents an inner transitional prothrombotic state; that is why other coagulation abnormalities may be revealed during this time. Factor V Leiden mutation is the most frequent inherited thrombophilia in the general population. We report the case of a patient by whom this mutation has been revealed during pregnancy by an adrenal vein thrombosis. Through this case, we will review the physiopathology of resistance to activated protein C and its consequences.
