AI Article Synopsis
- An 11-year-old boy with mild hemophilia A experienced focal convulsions and was hospitalized, where an MRI revealed an old occipital infarct.
- Normal levels of Protein C, S, antithrombin III, anticardiolipin antibodies, and fibrinogen were found during tests.
- The identification of heterozygosity for the factor V Leiden mutation suggests that testing for this mutation should be considered in hemophiliacs who develop thrombosis.
Article Abstract
An 11-year-old boy with mild hemophilia A was admitted to our hospital because of focal convulsions. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an old occipital infarct. Protein C, S, antithrombin III, anticardiolipin antibodies and fibrinogen were normal. Heterozygosity for factor V Leiden mutation was detected. We suggest that factor V Leiden mutation should be studied in hemophiliacs with thrombosis.
