[Case report of congenital afibrinogenemia]

It is reported about a case of congenital afirinogenaemia on a newborn female. The treatment is described. Congenital afirinogenaemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. There are 250 cases in world literature, mostly with consanguineous parents.

Only acute haemorrhage should be treated with fresh frozen plasma or fibrinogen concentrates.
