Vishal Vishnu Tewari, Kunal Tewari and Ritu Mehta

Neonates and young infants are physiologically encumbered by an inadequate hemostatic mechanism. They may also have inherited or acquired bleeding disorders which may have a catastrophic presentation with intracerebral hemorrhage. The need to reach an accurate diagnosis is paramount in order 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 managed for congenital factor V deficiency while the second infant had Glanzmann thrombasthenia.
