Massive fetomaternal hemorrhage: How long should children with good evolution be controlled? A case report

We report on a term infant with a severe fetomaternal hemorrhage that cause d a serious anemia that was surmounted after several transfusions. After th e initial complications, such as persistent pulmonary circulation, severe a nemia and thrombocytopenia, the outcome was good. We discuss the importance of a long-term followup of affected children, as well as their mothers. No clear parameters for a real prognosis are available. A follow-up is needed in order to detect possible complications in neurological development.
