Abstract
Rare coagulation disorders pose significant diagnostic challenges emphasizing the importance of clinical vigilance and meticulous hemostatic workup for accurate diagnosis and timely management. We present two cases of exceptionally uncommon coagulopathies - isolated factor V deficiency (F5D) and combined factor V and VIII deficiency (F5F8D). Case 1 features a 24-year-old woman incidentally diagnosed with severe F5D during routine preoperative evaluation for an ovarian cyst. Despite the absence of any reported bleeding manifestations, a timely and accurate diagnosis was rendered. Perioperative management with fresh frozen plasma and postoperative monitoring ensured favorable surgical outcomes. Case 2 features a 10-year-old male presenting with prolonged gum bleeding. Following systematic hemostatic workup, a diagnosis of F5F8D was rendered, thereby guiding optimal therapeutic interventions. We herein aim to contribute valuable insights into the understanding of coagulation physiology and the diagnostic intricacies and management strategies of rare coagulation disorders.
