Congenital Afibrinogenemia presenting as antenatal intracranial bleed: a case report
Abstract
Abstract Congenital afibrinogenemia is a very rare inherited coagulation disorder, characterized by virtual absence of plasma fibrinogen (factor I). There are only about 250 cases reported in the world literature 1. We describe a case of congenital afibrinogenemia which presented as an antenatally detected intracranial bleed.
