Abstract


Glanzmann thrombasthenia is an, autosomal  recessive bleeding disorder associated with mutation of the gene for GPIIbIIIa receptor of the platelets, characterized by normal platelet count and morphology, with an abnormal platelet functional assay with increased bleeding time, normal coagulation profile,. It is a rare disorder with 1 in million   incidence. Patients usually present with mucocutoneous bleeding and excessive bleeding associated with trauma or surgery, requiring blood and platelet transfusions. With proper supportive care Glanzmanns thrombasthenia has a very good prognosis. We present this rare case with review of the    literature.
