Abstract

Factor VII deficiency is a rare inherited coagulation disorder. Elevated prothrombin time and INR with a normal partial thromboplastin time and bleeding time points towards an isolated Factor VII deficiency. We hereby report a case of a 22-years old Indian male who presented with bleeding gums following dental scaling. Labs supported the deficiency of Factor VII at less than 5.6%. Infusion of recombinant Factor VIIa helped to normalize the prothrombin time and INR.
