Abstract

Abstract : Objective: To present a rare case of persistent bleeding from the tooth extraction socket in a patient with chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Background: Acute exacerbation of chronic DIC occurs by various trigger factors. Clinical report: The patient's chronic DIC in association with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm was activated by tooth extraction, resulting in persistent bleeding from the socket. Conclusion: Patients with chronic DIC may have persistent bleeding following tooth extraction.
