title: Haemoperitoneum due to ruptured ovarian cyst in a 13-year-old girl with factor V deficiency- A case report.
abstract: Factor V deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive coagulation disorder. We are reporting a case of a 13 year old girl with factor V deficiency presenting as life threatening haemoperitoneum, following bleeding from ruptured ovarian cyst. Prolonged Prothrombin Time, Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time and a normal platelet count pointed towards a disorder of coagulation. Mixing study with factor V deficient plasma and coagulation factor assay revealed markedly reduced plasma factor V clotting activity.
