Abstract: | Hereditary Factor VII deficiency is one of the rare congenital coagulopathies. Prolonged prothrombin time (PT) with normal partial prothrombin time (PTT) may be an indicator for Factor VII deficiency. A family with hereditary heterozygous Factor VII deficiency is presented in whom no symptoms of a bleeding disorder were clinically detectable. A discussion of the therapeutic options follows. |
