Abstract

ICH can be spontaneous or traumatic. the most common cause of ICH in adults is trauma(road traffic accident or fall from height) and CVA. In neonates and infants ICH is caused by trauma associated with labor and delivery. Factor VII deficiency presenting as ICH on an infant is a rare entity. Here we present a case of 40 day old male child presenting as seizure which was later diagnosed to have ICH due to severe factor VII deficiency.
