Summary A young woman showed an hemorragic syndrome secondary to an acquired deficit coagulation due to antibodies factor VIII inhibitors. Even if coagulation inhibitors are rare in non-hemophilic patients, this case is interesting since it shows a serious condition thay may produce death. Early diagnosis and treatment, as well as defining whether it is a primary alteration or a consequence of a subtle disease, are of capital importance. The paper includes a description of the steps to determine diagnosis and a review of the current therapeutic tools.
