Jacobsen Syndrome, Paris-Trousseau Syndrome, and Dental Extractions: Case Report, Medical, Dental, and Social Considerations.

INTRODUCTION

This case report examines the management of a 5-year-old male with Jacobsen Syndrome (JS) and Paris-Trousseau Syndrome (PTS), emphasizing the challenges of managing complex bleeding risks during dental surgery.

CASE DESCRIPTION: This case report details the management of a 5-year-old male with JS and PTS. The patient presented with persistent bleeding around exfoliating primary mandibular central incisors and a platelet count of 28 000/mm3. Extractions were performed under general anesthesia due to the patient's inability to cooperate and complex medical history. Local and systemic hemostatic measures were required to obtain hemostasis. This emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex bleeding risks.

CONCLUSION

A multidisciplinary approach is vital in managing bleeding in pediatric patients with JS and PTS. Limiting the use of sutures and the number of injections to prevent further bleeding, as well as emphasizing preventative care, are key in managing these patients.
