Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder that is caused by deficiency
or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a plasma protein that mediates the initial adhesion of
platelets at sites of vascular injury and also binds and stabilizes blood clotting factor VIII (FVIII) in the
circulation.1 The prevalence of VWD is about 1% of the population & approximately twice in female then
man because of their unique potential of menorrhagia.2 We are reporting a successful perioperative
anaesthetic management of 33year female, a known case of Von Willebrand disease (VWD) who underwent
routine colostomy closure.
