Giant abdominopelvic haematoma arising from ovulation in a Glanzmann's thrombasthenia patient with platelet refractoriness: treatment with surgery and intra-abdominal tranexamic acid.

Abstract
Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) is a very rare autosomal recessive genetic bleeding disorder. Women with coagulation abnormalities are at increased risk of corpus luteum rupture and haemoperitoneum. Here we present a severe case of GT resulting in a haematoma extending from the pelvis to the liver that could only be controlled by surgery and intra-abdominal tranexamic acid.
