[The congenital afibrinogenemia: case report].
The deficiency in factor I or fibrinogen is a largely unknown genetic disease. It is a rare condition inherited as an autosomal recessive, whose clinical events are variable, ranging from moderate to minimal bleeding or cataclysmic hemorrhage. We report a case of congenital afibrinogenemia in a 17 years-old patient hospitalized in surgical ICU for hemoperitoneum medium abundance discovered by abdominal ultrasound performed before a picture of abdominopelvic pain lasting for 24 hours. Exploration led to the diagnosis of congenital afibrinogenemia with favorable evolution with a contribution of factor deficient. Through this case we raise the problem of congenital afibrinogenemia in diagnosis and the peculiarities of its management.
