[Congenital coagulation disorders in neurosurgical patients. Literature review and case series]

Congenital coagulation disorders account about 1-2% and can pose a serious risk for neurosurgical patients. Indeed, coagulation management in these patients is essential to ensure normal hemostasis. Analysis of available literature devoted to this issue and case series of neurosurgical patients with congenital coagulation disorders. Literature data were obtained from the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline and Google Scholar databases for the period from 2019 to 2020. Over 200 reports devoted to our scientific issue were selected. We determined the key features of perioperative management of neurosurgical patients with congenital coagulation disorders. We have also analyzed 10 similar patients for the period from 2008 to 2020. Comprehensive analysis of anamnesis, adequate diagnosis, perioperative planning and multidisciplinary approach are essential for successful elective surgery in patients with congenital coagulation disorders.
