چکیده

A rare case of multiple cerebral aneurysms and factor VII deficiency is presented. The authors hypothesize a possible combined genetic defect similar to that of other conditions with clotting disorders. Different treatment options are discussed for factor VII deficiency in particular and multiple cerebral aneurysms in general. The authors advise treatment of all detected aneurysms in case of a subarachnoid hemorrhage rather than only treatment of the ruptured aneurysms in order to immediately start the so-called triple-H therapy.

Functional and Molecular Characterization of C91S Mutation in the Second Epidermal Growth Factor-like Domain of Factor VII

Background: Coagulation Factor VII is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease which has a pivotal role in the initiation of the coagulation cascade. The congenital Factor VII deficiency is a recessive hemorrhagic disorder that occurs due to mutations of F7 gene. In the present study C91S (p.C91S) substitution was detected in a patient with FVII deficiency. This mutation has not b...

Congenital deficiency of factor VII in subarachnoid hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND Factor VII is essential for coagulation activation by the extrinsic pathway. Hemorrhages of the central nervous system in patients with congenital factor VII deficiency seem to have a higher incidence compared with other congenital coagulopathies. The purpose of this paper is to report two rare cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage and factor VII deficiency. CASE DESCRIPTION Two cases o...
