We report a case of transient acquired and isolated factor VII deficiency associated with severe head trauma. A 16-year-old boy was involved in a motor vehicle accident. CT scan showed frontal brain contusion and a cerebral haematoma (5 cm). First prothrombine time (PT) was normal. Rapidly, a severe coagulopathy developed, unresponsiving to fresh frozen plasma and vitamin K. Haemostatic markers analysis showed an isolated deficiency of factor VII at 15%. No inhibitory activity against factor VII could be detected. We successfully treated the deficiency with intermittent intravenous human factor VII (factor VII-LFB) during 10 days. Factor VII return to normal at 84%. Physiopathological and therapeutic aspects of this rare pathology are presented.

D001930 Brain Injuries Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

D005167 Factor VII Heat- and storage-stable plasma protein that is activated by tissue thromboplastin to form factor VIIa in the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. The activated form then catalyzes the activation of factor X to factor Xa. Coagulation Factor VII,Proconvertin,Stable Factor,Blood Coagulation Factor VII,Factor 7,Factor Seven,Factor VII, Coagulation
D006259 Craniocerebral Trauma Traumatic injuries involving the cranium and intracranial structures (i.e., BRAIN; CRANIAL NERVES; MENINGES; and other structures). Injuries may be classified by whether or not the skull is penetrated (i.e., penetrating vs. nonpenetrating) or whether there is an associated hemorrhage.
