Abstract
BACKGROUND: Haemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency), B (factor IX deficiency) and C (factor XI deficiency) are com- mon genetic bleeding disorders. Most often they are caused by the absence or defective function of coagulation factors, causing inefficient blood clots. CASE REPORT: The present manuscript describes a rare case of a combined haemophilia A and B patient, who under- went several extractions. The therapy and clinical management is presented, in the view of surgeon as well as haema- tologist. CONCLUSION: These patients are a serious challenge for the oral surgeons due to an increased number of accidents and complications. Scarce literature covering this topic contributes, as well, to the difficult management. Thus, several prin- ciples must be considered when diagnosing and treating haemophilia patients.
