  ABSTRACT: Pregnancy in a sickle cell patient is a source of maternal and perinatal morbidities. Thromboembolic diseases of which Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is one of the complications. The frequency of the latter is poorly assessed. Very few studies have been done on this topic. We report a case of DVT in a 35-year-old patient with sickle cell SS pregnant with 27SA diagnosed and cared for at the Maternity Issaka Gazobi (MIG) in Niamey. The management was based on low molecular weight heparin combined with preventive measures against sickle cell anemia and a planned cesarean section which led to a favorable maternal and perinatal prognosis.
