Abdominal Surgical Emergencies in Patients with Hematological Disorders: An Exacting Experience for Surgeons.

Management of surgical emergencies in patients with underlying hematological disorder is challenging due to increased incidence of peri-operative morbidity. We report two cases of abdominal surgical emergencies with pre-existing hematological conditions. The first case report is that of a patient diagnosed with pelvic abscess in a previously diagnosed case of Glanzmann's thrombasthenia and the second is a case of intestinal infarction previously diagnosed with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH).
