Clinical picture and management of congenital factor VII deficiency.

In patients with congenital FVII deficiency, bleeding manifestations and clinical presentation vary widely, ranging from asymptomatic subjects to patients with haemorrhages that may cause important handicaps. Owing to menorrhagia, which occurs in about two-thirds of women of fertile age, bleeding is more frequent in women than in men. Gum bleeding and easy bruising are also more frequent in females. FVII:C levels are not a good predictor of bleeding tendency as there is a wide overlap between bleeders and asymptomatic patients. We propose a three-grade system of classification based on clinical considerations. Therapy for congenital FVIII bleeding is discussed, with the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment, and the suggested single dose given.

Development of a subdural vein thrombosis following aggressive factor VII replacement for postnatal intracranial haemorrhage in a homozygous factor VII-deficient infant.

Congenital factor VII deficiency is a rare (1:500,000) autosomally recessive coagulopathy with variable expression and high penetration. In infants the most devastating presentation is that of intracranial haemorrhage. An infant is described with severe factor VII deficiency who developed postnatal intracranial haemorrhage. The baby was treated with factor VII concentrate (ImmunoA.G., Vienna, Austria). Three weeks after the haemorrhage he developed a dural venous sinus thrombosis. Although factor VII-deficient patients may need treatment with factor VII concentrate, this needs to be carefully monitored because of the thrombotic risk.
