| ABSTRACT | |
| May-Hegglin anomaly is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia, giant platelets, and inclusion bodies
in granulocytes. Because of thrombocytopenia, a mild hemorrhagic diathesis occurs. We extracted a mandibular wisdom tooth in a patient with May-Hegglin anomaly. By
applying cotton-type oxidized cellulose to the extraction cavity and compression hemostasis with a tie-over, complete hemostasis was obtained without platelet transfusion.
Key words: May-Hegglin anomaly, thrombocytopenia, giant platelets, tooth extraction. |
