Some congenital coagulation disorders are part of more complex syndromes that go beyond hemorrhagic symptoms and require a multidisciplinary approach. It is crucial to take a detailed medical history and perform a thorough physical examination when faced with any coagulation disorder. Platelet function tests and molecular diagnostic techniques are important additional tools. Regarding treatment, bleeding complications are treated in many cases according to their severity with desmopressin, antifibrinolytic agents, platelet transfusion, recombinant activated factor VII, and thrombopoietin receptor agonists. In some cases of congenital origin, allogeneic transplantation of hematopoietic progenitors is the only curative option.
