disorderLearning objectives
? To recognize causes of bleeding in children
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? To recognize importance of history and examination? To differentiate between platelets and coagulation disorders
Introduction
? Bleeding is a diagnostic challenge in children
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Excessive bleeding suggest underlying bleeding disorder? Minor bleeding is common in children
? Bleeding disorder can be inherited or acquired
? Coagulation, vascular disorder and platelet deficiency are main

bleeding disorder? Evaluation include history, exam and lab tests
Types of Bleeding Disorders
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Coagulation Disorders- congenital/ acquired
? Hemophilia A (factor VII deficiency)
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Hemophilia B (factor IX deficiency)? von Willebrand Disease (vWD)
? Other

? Platelet disorders

History
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Detailed history
? Types of bleeding
? Emphasis on the child's age, sex, clinical presentation, family history

Physical examination
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Petechiae: Small pinhead hemorrhagic spot <3 mm? Purpura (latin mean purple): Red or purpuric discoloration of skin
that do not blanch on pressure, size 3-10 mm
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Ecchymosis: size >1 cm? Hematoma: Collection of blood under skin or muscle of more than 1
cm
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Hemarthrosis: Collection of blood in jointsPhysical examination
? Mucocutaneous bleeding suggests a disorder of primary hemostasis,
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
i.e. VWD or platelet dysfunction/deficiency, or a vascular disorder.? In males, deep hematomas, hemarthroses, or evidence of chronic
joint abnormalities suggests hemophilia
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Acquired bleeding disorders may present in the context of coexisting
illness
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Anemia? Thrombocytopenia
? Loose joints and lax skin
Physical examination
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Lymphadenopathy and/or organomegaly suggest an infiltrative
process such as malignancy or a storage disease.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Signs of liver failure suggest acquired coagulation factor deficiencies? Additional congenital anomalies may suggest the presence of a
syndromic bleeding disorder
