Bilateral Pneumothorax Accompanied by Mild Deficiency Type Hemophilia A: Report of a Case

Abstract: Hemophilia A is relatively rare and the number of patients with this disorder who undergo surgery is limited. We herein report a surgical case of bilateral pneumothorax accompanied by mild deficiency type of hemophilia A. Although this patient had undergone major surgery at another institution, a diagnosis of hemophilia A had not been made, nor had he noticed unusual bleeding in his daily life. Laboratory studies showed a slight prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time. A thoracoscopic operati… Show more

“…Hemothorax is caused by chest trauma [1], iatrogenic bleeding due to medical intervention with insertion of a central venous line [2], thoracentesis [3], pleural biopsy [4], catheterization [5], anti-coagulant treatment [6], spontaneous bleeding due to aortic dissection or aneurysm [7], malignancies [8], endometriosis [9], ruptured bleb in pulmonary emphysema, hematological disorders such as hemophilia [10], and pulmonary infarction [11]. In very rare instances, arteriovenous malfomations (AVMs) as seen in OslerWeber-Rendu syndrome (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, HHT) may constitute the source of bleeding.…”
