Abstract
We report a case of severe factor V (FV) deficiency (<1%) associated with m ultiple episodes of intracranial bleeding which presented at birth. The cli nical course was further complicated by the development of an inhibitor, ep isodes of sepsis and cardiac failure. The management using virally inactiva ted FFP and platelets is discussed.
