Homocysteinemia: Cause of a Rare Case Coexisting DVT and Recurrent Foetal Loss in Pregnancy.

Deep vein thrombosis and venous thromboembolism is a major health problem and one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality Recurrent pregnancy loss either early or late is a serious problem and has both psychological and physical impact. Thrombophilia are one of the most important causes of DVT as well as Recurrent pregnancy loss as it worsens the physiological hypercoagulable case which exists in pregnancy. Homocysteinemia is rare but an important cause of deep vein thrombosis and recurrent pregnancy loss. Serum homocysteine levels in pregnancy have been linked to preeclampsia,recurrent abortions and low birth weight. Diagnosis of this condition is missed on routine basis due to extremely less frequency of the evaluation of serum homocysteine levels on a routine basis. Here we report a case of hyperhomocysteinemia as underlying cause of bad obstetric history and DVT which are few of the classic presentations of the entity seen in the single patient. the condition was diagnosed by multidisciplinary approach.
