چکیده
Background Cryofibrinogenemia is a rare disorder that refers to the presence of cold-precipitable proteins in plasma but, unlike cryoglobulinemia, not in serum. It can manifest as vascular occlusion in cold exposed areas. It is most often secondary to various inflammatory disorders, infections or malignancy, but cases of true essential cryofibrinogenemia have been described. To the best of our knowledge only three reports involving families have been published to date, each involving at most three patients.

Cryofibrinogenemia is a cryopathy in which hypersensitivity to cold is a prominent feature.
