...Abstract


Congenital factor VII deficiency is a rare coagulation disorder. The congenital FVII deficiency is manifested by mild hemorrhagic disturbances, primarily by mucous membrane or skin bleeding (epistaxis, gingival bleeding, menorrhagia, easy bruising, etc.), while its heavier forms may exhibit intracranial hemorrhages, hemarthroses, gastrointestinal bleeding. This paper presents a successful treatment of a patient with congenital FVII deficiency, which had to have his tooth extracted, by the application of the recombinant activated factor VII and local methods of hemostasis.

Key words: FVII deficiency, factor VIIa, tooth extraction, Novo Seven®
