Abstract

: Type III von Willebrand's disease (vWD) is an inherited bleeding disorder, which is frequently associated with menorrhagia in women. Treatment options include antifibrinolytics, desmopressin, von Willebrand factor/factor VIII concentrates and in intractable bleeding circumstances recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa). We present an adolescent case with type III vWD who had a menorrhagia at menarche that was refractory to the standard treatment and ultimately was treated with rFVIIa successfully.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
