Abstract :
Oral surgery in patients with bleeding disorders is associated with a high risk of
bleeding during and after surgery. This article is aimed to present the case of an eight-year-old girl suffering from severe Fanconi anemia with pancytopenia who
underwent a dental extraction. The hemostatic effect of local administration of
tranexamic acid in combination with a primary suture seems to be extremely helpful in order to reduce the necessity of blood products and the risk of postoperative
bleeding.
