- Abstract
Factor XI deficiency is a rare coagulation disorder associated with bleeding tendency and prolonged APTT. Parturients can have increased bleeding during vaginal delivery or cesarean section. Patients with severe factor XI deficiency should receive prophylactic fresh frozen plasma or factor XI transfusion in the peripartum period to maintain a near normal APTT. Limited evidence based on case reports and series is inconclusive as to the choice of anesthesia technique for cesarean section. We describe the anesthesia management of a parturient with severe factor XI deficiency for cesarean section and discuss the relevant literature.
