Abstract
We report a case of a preterm neonate born to a mother with giant placental chorioangioma. The baby had microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia and cardiac failure at birth. In addition, she had a disseminated intravascular coagulation-like picture and had bleeding from multiple sites, which was treated with transfusion of multiple blood products. She also developed transient hypertension and required antihypertensive drugs for 3 weeks. The baby was successfully managed and discharged home, though with signs of neurosensory impairment. 2016 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
