Congenital hypofibrinogenemia is a rare coagulation disorder characterized by a deficiency in fibrinogen protein, which is critical to the normal coagulation process. This hematological disorder can go undiagnosed until an event leads to prolonged bleeding. The purposes of this report were to describe an incidental diagnosis of congenital hypofibrinogenemia after a dental procedure, discuss the importance of recognizing coagulopathies on the delivery of dental care, examine the multi-disciplinary clinical management of prolonged bleeding after a dental procedure, and evaluate the challenges health care practitioners may encounter when obtaining a thorough medical history.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how to manage patients with inherited bleeding disorders during oral surgery and assess the link between surgical type and bleeding complications.
- The research analyzed data from 83 patients with various bleeding disorders who underwent different types of oral surgery from 2014 to 2021, revealing that 14.5% experienced bleeding complications, predominantly from osseous surgeries.
- The findings suggest that while bleeding issues occurred, they were manageable; however, a serious case highlights the need for careful preoperative planning to evaluate risks and benefits.

Introduction: Hereditary hypofibrinogenemia is a rare fibrinogen disorder characterised by decreased levels of fibrinogen. Pregnant women with hypofibrinogenemia are at risk of adverse obstetrical outcomes, depending on the fibrinogen level.
Aim: We investigated how the physiological changes of hemostasis throughout the pregnancy impact the hemostatic balance in a woman with hereditary mild hypofibrinogenemia.

Congenital afibrinogenemia is a rare hematologic disorder with an estimated incidence of 1-2 per million people worldwide. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and is characterized by the inability to synthesize fibrinogen. Clinical features range from minimal bleeding to catastrophic hemorrhage.

Purpose: To determine if fibrinogen concentration can be evaluated by dielectric permittivity changes in dielectric blood coagulation testing (DBCM) during cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Methods: We performed a single-center prospective observational study at a university hospital. One hundred patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with CPB were enrolled.

Afibrinogenemia is a coagulation disorder that occurs with a frequency of 1-2 cases/1,000,000 population and is characterized by a lack of capacity to synthesize fibrinogen. The predominant symptoms related to fibrinogen deficiency are mucocutaneous bleeding, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, genital tract or other vascularized tissues as well as excessive bleeding after minor injuries or accidental cuts. Thromboembolic complications and impaired wound healing may also occur.
