| Summary: | Inherited bleeding disorders are a heterogeneous
group of disease that is complicated by
hemorrhagic episodes, spontaneous, and post-
traumatic. Included in this category of conditions
are Familial Thrombocytopenias (FT). FT are a
heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that vary
in severity with regard to the degree of reduction in
platelet counts and in expression of bleeding
manifestations. As in acquired thrombocytopenias, FT
patients are at risk for hemorrhagic complications.
Rarely, patients with inherited non-thrombocytopenia
bleeding disorders can develop complications of acute
abdomen 1,2 which present as intraabdominal
hemorrhage. We report a case of intestinal obstruction
mimicking an uncomplicated intraabdominal
hemorrhage in a teenager with FT. |
