Background: desmopressin is a synthetic medication similar to vasopressin (hormone produce by man) which has been proven that promotes the increase in the plasmatic concentration of the coagulation VIII factor and in fact of the Von Willebrand factor, starting from the endothelial cells. It has been used with success in hemophilia and in Von Willebrand disease. Clinical case: a 13 year-old patient is presented, with a disorder of severe platelet function and frequent mucous bleedings who required odontological major surgery. The intervention achieved all the expectations and the patient did not require another therapy because of bleeding. Conclusions: it was proven in this patient the use of desmopressin had hemostatic character and it impeded the habitual use of platelet concentrates for these cases and consequently it avoided the potential biological risk always have the hemoderivatives.
