    Author: Benson E, Chen H, Nakhosteen A, Yoong W.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2022 Feb 07; 15(2):. PubMed ID: 35131786.
    Abstract:
    Klippel-Trènaunay syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterised by vascular malformations, which may be exacerbated during pregnancy and pose considerable thromboembolic and haemorrhagic risk for obstetric patients. We report on a patient with this syndrome who underwent elective caesarean section which was indicated due to previous obstetric anal sphincter injury. We describe her multidisciplinary preoperative planning and successful management of major postpartum haemorrhage with uterine compression sutures and intrauterine balloon tamponade ('uterine sandwich').
