Özet

Late hemorrhagic disease of the newborn (HDN) is a rare complication of vitamin K deficiency and is especially associated with intracranial hemorrhage. It may also occur in Infants who received vitamin-K prophylaxis at birth, Here, we reported a case of late HDN with frontal robe hemorrhage due to vitamin-K deficiency. This form of Intracranial hemorrhage of late HDN has been reported in the literature very rarely. We conclude that the efficiency of single-dose vitamin-K prophylaxis should be revaluated.
