von Willebrand's disease in pregnancy.

Von Willebrand disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. It is due to deficiency of von Willebrand factor (vWF) which may be either quantitative or qualitative. There are 3 types of vWD out of which Type III is the rarest but the most severe. We report a 27 years second gravida diagnosed with vWD in her index pregnancy. Though her antenatal period was uneventful, she developed complications in the perioperative period following a caesarean section. However, with a multidisciplinary team effort, the maternal and fetal outcome were favourable.
