ABSTRACT
Platelet storage deficiencies are a heterogeneous group of bleeding disorders of variable severity caused by decreased number or content of platelet granules. We present the case of a 10-year-old patient with no personal history of previous bleeding who was admitted to the emergency department due to menorrhagia and mucocutaneous pallor. Common disorders of primary and secondary hemostasis were ruled out. Subsequently, a study of electron microscopy of platelets was performed, which reported the presence of alpha granules with a decreased number of dense granules. Currently, the patient receives treatment with tranexamic acid during menstrual periods, supplementation with ferrous sulfate, and oral contraceptives, achieving control of bleeding episodes.
