    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive coagulation disorder that poses significant
challenges during major surgeries, particularly high-risk procedures like instrumented spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis (AIS).
Case Report: We present the case of a 15-year-old girl diagnosed with Lenke type 2 AIS and severe congenital FVII deficiency. She was
referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Tehran, Iran, for corrective spinal fusion. Preoperatively, a single dose of
recombinant activated FVII (rFVIIa) at 20 mcg/kg was administered to maintain hemostasis. The instrumented spinal fusion was
performed under general anesthesia using meticulous surgical techniques. Notably, no additional doses of rFVIIa were required
during the procedure.
Conclusion: This case demonstrates that with appropriate preoperative factor replacement and careful intraoperative hemostatic
management, patients with severe FVII deficiency can safely undergo corrective spinal fusion. It underscores the critical importance
of sustaining hemostasis in managing high-risk surgical patients with coagulopathies.</abstract>
