| Abstract |
|
A bleeding syndrome in early infancy due to vitamin K deficiency has been reported sporadically
from various parts of world. The syndrome has similarities to hemorrhagic disease of newborn. The
main differences are that it is found in an older age group, the pathogenesis is unknown, and
intracranial hemorrhage are frequent with a resultant high mortality rate.
We have experienced 6 cases of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage in the absence of known
trauma from 1 to 3 months of age.
Coagulation studies showed marked prolongation of prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin
time.
Satisfactory clinical and laboratory results were demonstrated after vitamin K administration and
fresh blood transfusion to correct the coagulation defect and anemia. |
