Abstract
Glanzmann thrombasthenia (TG) is a congenital platelet function disorder characterized by frequent and occasionally severe bleeding events. Treatment is based on platelet transfusion at the time of bleeding. We report a case of GT revealed in the neonatal period, a severe hemorrhagic syndrome refractory to transfusions, treated at the age of 6 years. Activated recombinant factor VII (Novoseven) injections were necessary. The advantages of recombinant activated factor VII in GT patients with platelet antibodies and/or platelet transfusions refractoriness are discussed.
