Intracranial hemorrhage and vitamin K deficiency in early infancy. 1984

W T Chaou, and M L Chou, and D V Eitzman

We report late-onset (1/2 to 6 months of age) intracranial hemorrhage related to vitamin K deficiency in 32 breast-fed infants, 31 of whom received no prophylactic vitamin K at birth. Computerized tomography showed mild to severe intracranial hemorrhage. Most (90.6%) had subarachnoid hemorrhage, either alone or in combination with subdural hemorrhage (37.5%), parenchymal hemorrhage (31.3%), or intraventricular hemorrhage (12.5%). In three (9.4%) the infratentorial region was involved.

D006408	Hematoma, Subdural	Accumulation of blood in the SUBDURAL SPACE between the DURA MATER and the arachnoidal layer of the MENINGES. This condition primarily occurs over the surface of a CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE, but may develop in the spinal canal (HEMATOMA, SUBDURAL, SPINAL). Subdural hematoma can be classified as the acute or the chronic form, with immediate or delayed symptom onset, respectively. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, severe HEADACHE, and deteriorating mental status.

D013345	Subarachnoid Hemorrhage	Bleeding into the intracranial or spinal SUBARACHNOID SPACE, most resulting from INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM rupture. It can occur after traumatic injuries (SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE, TRAUMATIC). Clinical features include HEADACHE; NAUSEA; VOMITING, nuchal rigidity, variable neurological deficits and reduced mental status.
