Abstract
To report the first case of fertility treatment in a patient with May-Hegglin anomaly, a rare hematological disorder inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. We present a case report of a 40-year-old nulliparous patient with May-Hegglin anomaly who underwent her first ICSI cycle with transfer of three fresh embryos. Prophylactic platelet transfusion obtained by single-donor apheresis was performed 1 h before the oocyte pick up. No complications were reported. No pregnancy was obtained. We report about the possibility to assist women affected by May-Hegglin anomaly requiring reproductive assistance. However, a multidisciplinary team composed of gynecologists and hematologists should follow such patients carefully, in order to carry out a complete clinical evaluation and to prevent the potential risks of bleeding. Clinicians must be vigilant in their presentation of risks, benefits, and alternatives.
