A Case Report of Post Partum Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Causing Cerebral Microbleeds
Basudev Agrawal, Alok Sao, Garima Agarwal
Abstract: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a clinical condition caused by various aetiologies and characterized by systemic activation of blood coagulation, leading to vessel thrombosis, organ dysfunction, and severe bleeding.1DIC represents a life - threatening condition that is the endpoint of uncontrolled systemic activation of blood coagulation. Once it enters the stage of malignant DIC, the patient?s death becomes unavoidable. We present an atypical fatal case of multiple cerebral microbleeds secondary to disseminated intravascular coagulation in a post - partum lady. The patient was underwent a caesarean section and developed DIC immediately post delivery, and consequently a rare complication of multiple cerebral microbleeds. Patient developed multiorgan failure including respiratory arrest, for which she was ventilated. However, after a few days on the ventilator, she succumbed to these complications of Post - Partum DIC. This article emphasizes on the rare complication of cerebral microbleeds due to post - partum DIC and prompt management of DIC to avoid mortality.
