Abstract
|
|
|
|
Seizure is the most common neurologic emergency in children, especially higher occurrence among infants and toddlers. Because the potential etiology of seizure in children is various, an accurate diagnosis is challenging. Even more, seizure which is associated with post-traumatic brain injuries is not common. We present one patient with hemophilia A, who presented with prolonged focal seizure and subdural hemorrhage. This patient had no family history of hemophilia but showed prolonged active partial thromboplastin time and severely low level of factor VIII (1%). This case highlights the management of prolonged focal seizure and the importance of performing neuroimaging and identifying underlying disease among children with seizure.
