The simultaneous or sequential development of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is known as Evans syndrome,which is very rare in pregnancy.We experienced a case of Evans syndrome in pregnancy.A 23-year-old primigravida with 37 weeks of gestation presented to the labor room with Evans syndrome. Her blood reports revealed features of hemolysis with macrocytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, elevated LDH, and low serum haptoglobin levels, and a direct antiglobulin test (DAT) was positive. A healthy female newborn with 3200 g was delivered by cesarean section.After delivery, DAT remained positive, and her platelet count falls markedly, and bone marrow transplantation was done.When Evans syndrome diagnosed during pregnancy, close and careful observation is essential because it can worsen both the maternal and fetal condition.

The simultaneous or sequential development of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is known as Evans syndrome. We experienced a case of Evans syndrome that developed AIHA during pregnancy and ITP long after delivery. The patient was a 35-year-old pregnant woman (gravida 2, para 1). A routine blood test at 28 weeks of gestation revealed moderate macrocytic anemia. Her haptoglobin level was markedly low, and a direct antiglobulin test (DAT) was positive. Based on these results, AIHA was considered. A healthy female newborn with bodyweight 3575 g was vaginally delivered uneventfully. After delivery, the DAT remained positive, but anemia did not develop. At 203 days after delivery, ITP was detected. Because AIHA and ITP developed sequentially, she was diagnosed with Evans syndrome. When AIHA occurs during pregnancy, long-term follow-up is needed because ITP can develop sequentially.

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is characterized by triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anaemia, Thrombocytopenia and Acute renal failure. Genetically predisposed women develop HUS and may be triggered by pregnancy. The diagnosis is challenging due to overlapping clinical features of other diseases in pregnancy. The long-term prognosis is guarded. We are presenting a case of a young primigravida who underwent emergency lower (uterine) segment caesarean section (LSCS). She developed progressive anaemia, thrombocytopenia and renal failure postoperatively. Aggressive management with plasmapheresis, blood transfusions and hemodialysis saved her life. She is currently in remission.

ABSTRACT Uterus didelphys is rare and sometimes not even diagnosed. We report a case of didelphys uterus in a 26-year-old pregnant lady who previously had three successful pregnancies with previous one C-section and remained undiagnosed till she presented to us as ruptured uterus. This case report aimed to summarize the clinical characteristics and perinatal outcome of VBAC in pregnancy with didelphys uterus and history of previous cesarean section.
