| Popis: | The rarity of spinal cord injuries and hemorrhages and of fibrin-stabilizing factor XIII deficiency during childhood has induced us to report the case of this two-year-old boy with factor XIII deficiency who presented with cervical intraspinal hemorrhage between the C4 and C7 levels as well as paraplegia presumably following a minor trauma. The findings in this patient, who was brought in two weeks after the appearance of the first symptoms, indicate the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention to minimize the extent of the damage from the injury in such cases. The case also points to the need for close follow-up of patients with factor XIII deficiency for CNS bleeding. |
