Diagnosis of von Willebrand Disease
Haemophilia, 1999The haemorrhagic diathesis in von Willebrand disease (vWD) is caused by a quantitative deficiency or a qualitative defect in the von Willebrand factor (vWF) in plasma and/or platelets causing insufficient primary haemostasis. Since vWF binds and protects factor VIII (FVIII) towards random proteolysis, coagulation may also be impaired in patients with a

von Willebrand Disease and Pregnancy
Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2000von Willebrand Disease (vWD) affects approximately 1% of Americans and as many as 25% of women referred for evaluation of menorrhagia. We briefly review the history of vWD, its molecular defects, and diagnostic criteria for each subtype of disease. We also address obstetric management of the patient with vWD. While there is a significant increased risk

Nature Reviews Disease Primers
von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. The disorder is characterized by excessive mucocutaneous bleeding. The most common bleeding manifestations of this condition include nosebleeds, bruising, bleeding from minor wounds, menorrhagia or postpartum bleeding in women as well as bleeding after surgery.

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2006
Von Willebrand disease (VWD), the most common inherited bleeding disorder, results from a deficiency of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a protein required for the normal adhesion of platelets to the site of injured endothelium and for preservation of factor VIII in the circulation. The prevalence of VWD has been reported to be as high as 1.3%. Among women

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 1990
The study of a wide variety of patients with vWD disorders has been extensive and intense over the last decade. In many instances the peculiarities of the expressions of the disorder have been critical in defining the underlying structure and function of vWF itself.

Antibodies to von Willebrand factor in von Willebrand disease
1995The occurrence of an alloantibody directed against von Willebrand factor in a multitransfused patient with severe (type III) von Willebrand disease was first reported in 2 consecutive studies by Sarji et al. (1974) and Stratton et al. (1975). After this, 14 additional cases of alloantibodies were described and reviewed by Mannucci and Mari (1984).

Treatment of von Willebrand's disease
Journal of Internal Medicine, 1997von Willebrand's disease is the most frequent of inherited bleeding disorders (1:100 affected individuals in the general population). The aim of therapy is to correct the dual defects of haemostasis, i.e. abnormal coagulation expressed by low levels of factor VIII and abnormal platelet adhesion expressed by a prolonged bleeding time. There are two main

The Spectrum of von Willebrand’s Disease
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 1967SummaryPatients (from 5 kindreds) with variants of von Willebrand’s disease are described. In one kindred the depression of factor VIII was moderate (20 to 40% of normal) and transfusion of 500 ml of normal plasma led to an increase higher than anticipated and to an almost normal level of factor VIII 17 to 24 hrs later.

Pseudotumour in von Willebrand disease
Haemophilia, 2001Pseudotumour is a rare complication of haemophilia; it has previously been reported in patients with moderate or severe haemophilia and rarely in mild disease. We report a case of a proximal pseudotumour occurring in a 36‐year‐old patient with mild von Willebrand disease (vWD) who made a good recovery with conservative management.
