Abstract:
The major manifestations of aplastic anemia are characterized by persistent bone marrow aplasia and peripheral pancytopenia due to defective stem cells in which differentiation is not curtailed or preferential elimination of stem cells with self-renewal capacity, which results in serious complications such as bleeding and infection. Recent advances in the therapeutic modalities, such as bone marrow transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy, and in supportive measures as component transfusion and infection control with better quality of antibiotics resulted in an improved survival and subsequently increased possibility of complications which need surgical intervention. Considering the fact that surgery may not only control complications, but offers the opportunity to give effective therapy for aplastic anemia and therefore improves chances for survival, it is strongly suggested that active surgical intervention should be performed. We report a case of patient with aplastic anemia who had been performed surgical intervention of partial maxillectomy for the squamous cell carcinoma on maxilla without serious complications during perioperative and postoperative period.
