background and aims: human t-lymphotropic virus (htlv) is a human retrovirus which has been known to cause adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma and some other inflammatory disorders. patients with hereditary bleeding diseases are at high risk for these viruses. in this study, we evaluated serological htlv-i/ii infection among these patients in west azerbaijan of iran. material and methods: we studied...

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is an autosomal dominant disease in which arteriovenous communications are typically seen in the skin, mucosal surfaces, lungs, brain and gastrointestinal tract. This disease typically presents as epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding and arteriovenous malformations (in the brain and lungs). Although the epistaxis and gastrointestinal bleeding can result in ...

Hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive hereditary bleeding illness that manifests as increased after moderate trauma and spontaneous bleeding. It caused by a deficiency of the clotting factor VIII (FVIII). We report video assisted-thoracoscopy in 48-year-old patient with A. shouldn't be barrier to invasive surgery, but there are few conditions must met ensure straightforward intraoperative posto...

Hereditary benign telangiectasia is an uncommon idiopathic skin disorder characterized by generalized telangiectases and angiomatous lesions of the skin. The diagnosis should be suspected in patients with such cutaneous lesions, positive family history, no associated bleeding problems, and no mucosal involvement. We present six cases of hereditary benign telangiectasia in three generations of o...

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome, is an uncommon disease but may be present in many people who remain undiagnosed. It is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and telangiectases that affect multiple organ systems. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia patients have a propensity for bleeding, especially ...

background: the most common polymorphisms identified in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) gene, c677t and a1298c lead to defective activity of this enzyme and increase the risk of venous and arterial thrombosis. there are limited investigations regarding the effects of thrombogenic polymorphisms on the clinical phenotypes of rare hereditary hemorrhagic disorders like glanzmann's t...

Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia also known as Osler-Rendu-Weber disease is a rare autosomal dominant disorder affecting small vessels of skin and mucosa, usually misdiagnosed because of its non specific symptomatology. This disease usually presents as epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding and visceral arteriovenous malformations. Although the epistaxis and gastrointestinal blood loss can ...

Mild hereditary bleeding disorders presenting with mucocutaneous haemorrhages are usually difficult to diagnose. We measured thrombin generation in platelet-poor plasma (TG-PPP) in 206 patients with a clinically unequivocal bleeding tendency: 45 with von Willebrand disease (vWD), 49 with platelet aggregation/secretion defects (PASD), 10 with a combination of both and 102 who did not fit the dia...

objective hereditary spastic paraplegia (hsp) is a degenerative disease of genetic origin affecting the corticospinal tracts in the spinal cord. there are three forms of inheritance: autosomal dominant hsp, autosomal rececive hsp and x-linked hsp. this disease is characterized by progressive spasticity of leg muscles with varying degrees of stiffness and weakness of other muscle groups. in this...

Dental practitioners must be well informed about the pathology, complications and treatment options associated with bleeding disorders patients. Prolongation of time can seriously complicate patient’s condition during after surgery, especially if there is iron deficiency anemia or any other accompanied by a decrease in hematopoiesis.
