Abstract
- The von Willebrand disease (vWD) is a hereditary coagulopathy. There is no gender predilection. Clinically characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding, especially nose bleeding, menorrhagia and bleeding after trauma. This article reports a case of a 52-year-old Caucasian male patient with vWD, who presented with extensive bleeding in the tongue after a lacerating injury caused by accidental biting, and describes some clinical, pathological and treatment aspects of vWD. After repeated attempts to suture the wound and replace clotting factors, a decision was made to perform the ligature of the external carotid artery ipsilateral to the injury. There was favorable resolution of the case, with a good aspect of the scar 2 months after ligation. This case reinforces that it is extremely important to make a thorough review of medical history of all patients, searching for possible bleeding disorders or previous family history. A doença de von Willebrand (DvW) é uma coagulopatia hereditária. Não há predileção por sexo. Clinicamente caracteriza-se por hemorragias mucocutâneas, sobretudo nasais, menorragias e hemorragias pós-trauma. Este artigo relata um caso clínico de DvW em paciente de 52 anos de idade, leucoderma, do sexo masculino, que apresentou extensa hemorragia em bordo lateral de língua após ferimento lacerante, além de descrever alguns aspectos clínicos, patológicos e terapêuticos da DvW. Após repetidas tentativas de sutura do ferimento e reposição dos fatores de coagulação, optou-se pela ligadura da artéria carótida externa ipsilateral ao ferimento, com resolução favorável do caso, notando-se bom aspecto cicatricial 2 meses após a ligadura. Este caso reforça que é de extrema importância a realização de anamnese criteriosa, buscando-se identificar possíveis distúrbios hemorrágicos prévios ou antecedentes familiares.
