title: Anaesthetic Management with Thromboelastography in a Patient with Glanzmann Thrombasthenia.
abstract: Glanzmann thrombastenia (GT) is a rare disease of an autosomal recessive inheritance characterized with fatal bleeding tendency. The anaesthesiologist should be cognizant of the risk involved and be prepared with necessary measures. In this paper, we present a GT case of a 9-year-old male with hypospadias, which was successfully repaired after platelet transfusions according to the thromboelastography tracings.
