Abstract
Factor X (FX) deficiency is a rare, autosomal-recessive coagulation disorder. Diagnosis can be confirmed by a factor X assay. Although fresh frozen plasma and prothrombin complex concentrates have been used as a temporary treatment of bleeding symptoms and preparation for surgery, frequent transfusion has its risk and prothrombin complex is not available in Korea. We report the first pediatric case of successful liver transplantation for the correction of a severe congenital FX deficiency in a child with recurrent life-threatening hemorrhagic episodes.
