  ABSTRACT: Congenital factor VII deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 1,000,000. We report the case of a female newborn, born to second-degree consanguineous parents, admitted at 22 days of age for management of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Hemostasis testing revealed a prothrombin time (PT) of 16%, with a preserved activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Coagulation testing demonstrated an isolated factor VII deficiency. Through this case, we highlight the clinical, biological, and therapeutic characteristics of this anomaly during the neonatal period.
