A young woman was admitted to our Department for a sudden occlusion of the proximal deep venous stream of the right lower limb, and a controlateral recurrence within a few days, during the tenth week of pregnancy. Diagnosis was made by strain-gauge pletismography. We found she had a type 1 congenital AT III defect (AT III activity : 35%; AT III antigenic level : 40%), never diagnosed before
