OBJECTIVE: To present a rare case with factor VII deficiency (FVIID) that first diagnosed during pregnancy, and to disccuss the ante-, peri- and postpartum management. STUDY DESIGN: A case report and review of the literature. RESULTS: FVIID was diagnosed for the first time in a 23-year-old pregnant woman at the 24th week of gestation due to complaint of intermittent epistaxis. She was successfully treated by ante-, peripartum and postpartum replacement of recombinant FVII (rFVII). She was uneventfully discharged on the 3rd postoperative day and referred to hematology department for further follow-up. CONCLUSION: FVIID, a rare cause of ante- and postpartum hemorrhages that may differently present by other hemorrhages (i.e.: epistaxis), can be optimally managed with replacement of rFVII.
