Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <p>Essential thrombocytemia – a classic myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by persistent thrombocytosis – may associate both thrombotic and hemorrhagic events, as well as platelet dysfunction. Of all myeloproliferative neoplasms, essential thrombocytemia is more likely to be associated with pregnancy, because of a higher comparative incidence in younger patients. This association significantly increases the risk of pregnancy loss and of various pregnancy complications. We present a case of early severe preeclampsia with a critical and unusual evolution and life-threatening complications.</p> </sec> </abstract>
