PERIOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT OF A PATIENT WITH INHERITED FACTOR VII DEFICIENCY AND CROHN DISEASE : A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Inherited factor VII deficiency is a rare coagulation disorder. There is no direct correlation between factor VII activity and the bleeding risk. We report the case of a 24 years old patient with Crohns disease and inherited factor VII deficiency who underwent ileocecal resection. The patient was considered as a high bleeding risk and was thus substituted with factor VII perioperatively. In the presence of thromboembolic risk factors, pharmacological venous thromboembolism prophylaxis was also introduced.
