IntroductionCoagulopathy related to venous malformations can be life threatening. This complication is little known and underestimated.Case ReportWe report the case of a 52-year-old female patient who presented with a left femoral fracture. She had a pre-existing muscular infiltrating venous malformation of the left hip. During surgery, she developed acute disseminated intravascular coagulation. The latter was probably a consequence of both surgery and localized intravascular coagulation that was unknown before the trauma.ConclusionIt is important to diagnose localized intravascular coagulation in venous malformations, since the risk of disseminated intravascular coagulation can be prevented by anticoagulant therapy.Copyright © 2020.
