Rare bleeding disorders (RBDs) include the inherited deficiencies of fibrinogen, factor (F)II, FV, FV+FVIII, FVII, FX, FXI and FXIII. There have been remarkable advances in understanding the molecular profiles that lead to each type of coagulation factor deficiency. However, as a consequence of their rarity, clinical data regarding the characteristics of bleeding symptoms and their management remain limited. The clinical manifestations in different RBDs are heterogeneous, and the residual plasma coagulant factor level does not always predict bleeding tendency. In this review, we describe the general features and recent advances in understanding three such deficiencies: FXI, FVII and fibrinogen deficiencies.

Kissing aneurysms, a rare and intriguing cerebrovascular anomaly, challenge even the most advanced neurosurgical techniques. These lesions, characterized by two intimately apposed aneurysms with shared arterial walls, often masquerade as single, irregular aneurysms. This report documents a case of ruptured kissing aneurysms in the M1 segment of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA), complicated by ischemic stroke and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE)-a convergence of severe complications rarely encountered.
