Abstract
A case of Von Willebrand's disease has been presented. This familial disorder of great
variability is characterized by prolonged bleeding time and a deficiency of a coagulation
factor. A careful history is important in helping to determine the presence of a bleeding
disorder. Repeated bleeding time determinations (Ivy method) and tourniquet tests
are recommended for any patient whose history is suggestive of a bleeding disorder.
An assay of Factor VIII is necessary before a diagnosis of Von Willebrand's disease
can be made.
Surgical procedures can be carried out safely if fresh frozen plasma is given preoperatively
and immediately postoperatively. Continued transfusions usually are not required.
