Congenital GATA1-mutated myeloproliferative disorder in trisomy 21 complicated by placental fetal thrombotic vasculopathy.

Congenital myeloproliferative disorders and transient leukemic disorders have been described in the perinatal period in infants with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). We report a novel case of a neonate with trisomy 21 with GATA1-mutated congenital myeloproliferative disorder complicated by placental fetal thrombotic vasculopathy featuring chorionic vessel leukemic thrombi, fetal circulation vascular injuries, and large aggregates of avascular villi. These thrombotic and vasculopathic changes within the placenta are likely a reflection of the hypercoagulable state caused by the myeloproliferative disorder.

Intestinal atresia occurring in association with placental fetal thrombotic vasculopathy: a case report with literature review.

Fetal thrombotic vasculopathy (FTV) is a thrombo-occlusive disorder of the placenta that has been reported in association with perinatal conditions such as cardiac abnormalities, neurological injury, and perinatal liver disease. These complications are related to fetal circulation vascular compromise. We herein report a previously undocumented association of congenital intestinal atresia and placental FTV.
