Summary
A new case of dysfibrinogenemia is described, the proband had low fibrinogen level
and a moderate hyperfibrinolysis. Attention is drawn to the florid hemorrhagic picture
and its early presentation.
The family history showed a moderate hyperfibrinolysis.
It appeared that the cause of the dysfibrinogenemia was due to a deficient polymerization
of the α chains of the fibrinogen.
It is not yet known if this is caused by a defective liberation of fibrinopeptides.
Due to the peculiar characteristic of this case and in accordance with the international
norms, we propose to call this dysfibrinogenemia “Fibrinogen Valencia.”
