2回目の膝関節手術後の出血で判明した成人軽症血友病A

抄録

A 48-year-old male underwent an osteosynthesis surgery for right patellar fracture without bleeding episodes around the surgery. After 7 months, he presented with a bleeding episode after a nail extraction surgery from his knee joint. He was diagnosed with mild hemophilia A after his second surgery. The patient’s clinical course suggested that he had mild hemophilia A, although he had a past surgical history without any bleeding episodes. Early diagnosis is important in patients with mild hemophilia A because bleeding episodes complicated with surgery can be prevented by the administration of prophylactic replacement therapy.
