A Case Report of the Anesthetic Management of a Parturient With Congenital Hypofibrinogenemia and Complete Placenta Previa.

A multidisciplinary approach among the obstetric, hematological, pharmaceutical, nursing, and anesthetic team proved essential for the successful peripartum management of a gravida 3, para 2 female with a new diagnosis of congenital hypofibrinogenemia complicated by a complete placenta previa. The patient presented to labor and delivery triage with vaginal bleeding. This case report describes the management of this parturient and presents a review of the literature available for the anesthetic management of parturients with congenital hypofibrinogenemia.
