Abstract
We report a case of acquired von Willebrand syndrome relapse in association with Crohn's disease, in a context of non-compliance in a 85-year-old woman suffering from epistaxis and melena. The acquired von Willebrand syndrome is a rare bleeding disorder. This case underlines the importance of maintaining the corticosteroid therapy in order to prevent the reappearance of autoantibodies and the recurrence of this syndrome.
