Abstract

Arch Gynecol Obstet. 2003 Feb;267(4):247-9. Epub 2002 Sep 26. Postpartum hemorrhage and emergency hysterectomy in a patient with mitochondrial myopathy: a case report. Dessole S, Capobianco G, Ambrosini G, Battista Nardelli G. SourceDepartment of Pharmacology, Gynecology and Obstetrics, 07100 Viale San Pietro 12, Sassari, Italy. dessole@uniss.it Abstract Mitochondrial myopathies are a rare biochemical group of disorders of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. We report the first case in the literature of a pregnant woman with mitochondrial myopathy who, after cesarean section, had a severe and massive postpartum hemorrhage that required emergency supracervical hysterectomy. We discuss the case and review the literature.
