Mitochondrial myopathies are a rare biochemical group of disorders of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. We report the first case in the literature of a pregnant woman with mitochondrial myopathy who, after cesarean section, had a severe and massive postpartum hemorrhage that required emergency supracervical hysterectomy. We discuss the case and review the literature.

Abstract

Mitochondrial myopathies are a rare biochemical group of disorders of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. We report the first case in the literature of a pregnant woman with mitochondrial myopathy who, after cesarean section, had a severe and massive postpartum hemorrhage that required emergency supracervical hysterectomy. We discuss the case and review the literature.
