title: [Fracture of the maxillary tuberosity in the hemophiliac patient].
abstract: Fracture of the left maxillary tuberosity during surgical extraction of multiple teeth, involving the maxillary sinus and pterigomaxillary fossa in a male patient with classic hemophilia due to factor VIII deficiency, is reported. The subject was treated by a private dentist and afterwards admitted at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery unit of the "20 de Noviembre" Hospital, ISSSTE, where extraction was completed and the fracture detected at surgery. The patient was then referred to Hematology and substitute therapy of factor VIII for two weeks was prescribed but, eventually, persistent bleeding led to suturing the external carotid.
