Only a minority of the cases are diagnosed early after birth. We present another case of proven CCD presenting with typical neonatal phenotype to promote awareness of this rare disorder.

The mother was shown to be negative for the human platelet antigen-1a (HPA-1a) allele but had anti-HPA-1a IgG antibodies, while the father and newborn were HPA-1a positive, confirming the diagnosis.
