Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder which deficiency of the platelet glycoprotein IIb - III a. The disorder usually manifests as severe mucocutaneus bleeding in the chaildhood, menstrual patterns in pubertal--adolescent years, rarely life-threatening. Pregnancy and delivery in patients with TG are very rare and are associated with high risk for mother and fetus due to intra - and post-partum hemorrhage. We present a case 30, a patient with TG, emergency births by caesarean section, with intra- and postpartum haemorrhage managed through the use of recombinant factor VIIa, transfusion of packed red blood cells and platelets.
