title: [Bernard-Soulier thrombopathy: a diagnostic pitfall].
abstract: First described in 1948, Bernard-Soulier syndrome is an uncommon hereditary thrombopathy characterized by abnormal expression of the GPIb-IX-V complex which inhibits platelet migration to the site of endothelial trauma. Our case illustrates the pathophysiological mechanisms involved and points out the similarity with idiopathic thrombopenic purpura.
