Abstract
A 1(1/2)-month-old baby with seizures, lethargy and refusal of feeds was diagnosed to have intracranial hemorrhage due to factor VII deficiency. MRI also demonstrated the unusual presence of a hemorrhagic infarct. The case underscores the importance of carrying out neuroimaging and appropriate hematological studies even in the absence of obvious external bleeding. Hypothesis for increased propensity for intra-cranial hemorrhage is discussed.
