Dental Management of Seven-Year-Old Child With Glanzmann Thrombasthenia: A Case Report
Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is an uncommon bleeding disorder that causes bleeding under the skin. Issues with platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb/IIIa are the cause of it, which makes it simpler for platelets to adhere to one another and form a thrombus. Symptoms can range from mild bruising to severe hemorrhages. Dental management of children with GT was complex, necessitating a multi-disciplinary approach in a hospital setting. The case report aimed to document a GT case involving a seven-year-old Saudi girl under general anesthesia treatment.
