Factor XI deficiency (Hemophilia C) is a very rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder. Patients with factor XI deficiency do not typically show any spontaneous bleeding or specific symptoms. Sometimes those who have this disorder are identified during special situations such as trauma or surgery. Orthognathic surgery is particularly associated with a high bleeding risk. Therefore, great care must be taken when treating patients with bleeding disorders such as factor XI deficiency. There are a few reports that address the management of patients with bleeding disorders during orthognathic surgery. The current report describes a patient with factor XI deficiency who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy together with bilateral sagittal split osteotomy. The patient's condition was assessed using both rotation thromboelastometry ($ROTEM^{TM}$) and noninvasive measurements of total hemoglobin (SpHb) using Masimo Radical 7 (Masimo Co. CA, USA).

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), a noninvasive optical method, utilizes the characteristic absorption spectra of hemoglobin in the near-infrared range to provide information on cerebral hemodynamic changes in various clinical situations. NIRS monitoring have been used mainly to detect reduced perfusion of the brain during orthostatic stress for three common forms of orthostatic intolerance (OI); orthostatic hypotension, neurally mediated syncope, and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Autonomic function testing is an important diagnostic test to assess their autonomic nervous systems for patients with symptom of OI. However, these techniques cannot measure dynamic changes in cerebral blood flow. There are many experimentations about study of NIRS to reveal the pathophysiology of patients with OI. Research using NIRS in other neurologic diseases (stroke, epilepsy and migraine) are ongoing. NIRS have been experimentally used in all stages of stroke and may complement the established diagnostic and monitoring tools. NIRS also provide pathophysiological approach during rehabilitation and secondary prevention of stroke. The hemodynamic response to seizure has long been a topic for discussion in association with the neuronal damage resulting from convulsion. One critical issue when unpredictable events are to be detected is how continuous NIRS data are analyzed. Besides, NIRS studies targeting pathophysiological aspects of migraine may contribute to a deeper understanding of mechanisms relating to aura of migraine. NIRS monitoring may play an important role to trend regional hemodynamic distribution of flow in real time and also highlights the pathophysiology and management of not only patients with OI symptoms but also those with various neurologic diseases.
