Implicaciones anestésicas en gestante con trombocitopenia extrema por síndrome de May-Hegglin: ¿anestesia regional o general?

The case is reported of a 28-year-old primiparous patient who had an urgent caesarean section due to failed induction of labour. The patient had no history of abnormal bleeding. Other causes of thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction, such as preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, or placental abruption, were ruled out. The platelet count prior to surgery was 20,900/mm3 with normal platelet function. General anaesthesia was performed. No excessive bleeding occurred and a platelet transfusion was not needed.
