Abstract

The most common autoimmune hemolytic disorder encountered during pregnancy is idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Premature separation of the placenta is one of the most serious complications in the second half of pregnancy. Since the association of the two is not known, the aim of the present paper is to present such a case and to draw the attention of the obstetrician to this possibility.
