Abstract

A new case of factor VII congenital deficiency is presented in a four year old girl, with a factor VII level of 3.9%. The patient had no history of bleeding and her coagulation disorder was a casual finding. Clinical features of the disease and its therapeutic guidelines are discussed. It seemed appropriate to continue the study in order to evaluate the factor VII capacity of inhibiting an specific antibody, to confirm heterozygosity of partents and to prove that this case is a genetic variant of factor VII deficiency with good prognosis.
