Intracerebral hemorrhage in young children due to rare etiology – report of two cases

Vishal Vishnu Tewari, Kunal Tewari and Ritu Mehta

Newborns and young children are physiologically burdened by inadequate hemostasis mechanisms. They may also have inherited or acquired bleeding disorders that may manifest with catastrophic intracerebral hemorrhage. The need for accurate diagnosis is paramount to provide accurate therapy and genetic counseling. We report two infants who presented with unprovoked, life-threatening, massive intracerebral hemorrhage. The first infant was diagnosed and treated for congenital factor V deficiency, while the second infant had Glanzmann thrombasthenia.
