A 60-year-old male had a lifelong problem with abnormal bleeding and bruising. As a child he had frequent nosebleeds following minimal trauma, but these decreased somewhat as of recently. At the age of 30 he underwent full mouth extraction. Post-extraction he had severe bleeding problems despite being given Vit K immediately prior to extraction. The patient had received multiple transfusions in the past and was also anemic. Family history revealed the patient’s paternal grandmother was a “bleeder” and his father also had severe bleeding problems. One of the patient’s 2 sons had a history of unusual bleeding events as well.
