Abstract EN
Factor XIII deficiency is a rare inherited coagulopathy.
Factor XIII is the last clotting factor in the coagulation cascade to insure strength and stability to fibrin clots.
Without this enzyme, the fibrous clot is unstable and nonresistant to fibrinolysis.
Gravid women with this congenital disease are especially at risk for complications including miscarriages and hemorrhage without appropriate interventions.
We present a case of a woman in her 20s with Factor XIII deficiency who was treated with cryoprecipitate and had a successful normal spontaneous vaginal delivery; subsequently, patient suffered from postpartum hemorrhage and consumptive coagulopathy due to consumption of Factor XIII, requiring emergency surgical intervention.
Intraoperative management was challenged by an ethical dilemma involving the patient’s religious beliefs about not receiving blood.
This paper will discuss the mechanism of Factor XIII and the medical and surgical management involved with this patient.
