had 38% VIII factor. Prior to surgical treatment, a complete blood count with a coagulation test was requested to measure TTPA. In addition, an interconsultation was made with the treating hematologist to perform a hicorrect
management to assess of her pathology and recommendations to carry out it with the least amount of
intrasurgical and post-surgical risks. Suggested the administration of factor of freeze-dried VIII factor before
