Spontaneous Acute Cerebral Hematoma in a Child with Factor XIII Deficiency

Factor XIII deficiency is a very rare bleeding disorder. We report here on the clinical outcome of a young child with intracranial bleeding due to factor XIII deficiency. Clinicians should bear in mind that severe factor XIII deficiency is associated with a significant risk of unexpected intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).
