Abstract
A 42-year-old woman who had had two normal uncomplicated vaginal deliv eries was seen for menorrhagia. Endocrine studies and ultrasonography had normal results. An elevated bleeding time and an activated partial thromboplastin time led to further hematologic testing. Final testing revealed abnormalities in the von Willebrand factor antigen, which le d to a diagnosis of mild type I von Willebrand disease.
