Acquired hemophilia as a rare cause of excessive bleeding during dentistry: report of two cases and short review

Abstract


Acquired hemophilia is a rare coagulation disorder that is not diagnosed by routine clinical laboratory tests. Thus, many perioperative or acute emergent bleeding complications remain unclear until the underlying cause is specified. We report two cases of postoperative bleeding in the context of dental surgery in which subsequent acquired hemophilia could be confirmed and present a short review from the literature.
