[Factor VII deficiency revealed by intracranial hemorrhage]. / Déficit congénital en facteur VII de la coagulation, révélé par une hémorragie cérébrale.

ABSTRACT

Constitutional factor VII deficiency is a hereditary disease with recessive autosomic transmission. Its incidence is estimated to be 1/1,000,000 in the general population. We report a case of severe factor VII deficiency in infancy revealed by an intracranial hemorrhage in a 2-month-old infant. We describe the clinical, biological and therapeutic characteristics of this disease.
