Rare Cause of Neonatal Hypovolemic Shock: A Case Report

The intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) of the term new-born is a rare pathology; the prevalence is estimated at 2% of live births. The clinical manifestations are variable and not specific. The causes of ICH are multiple and often intricate, the main pathophysiological mechanisms are deregulations of cerebral flow, obstruction of the vessels or intravascular coagulation or a direct injury from trauma. We report the case of a new-born at 30 hours of life admitted to our service (Neonatal resuscitation service and intensive care at Children's Hospital Rabat) for the management of respiratory distress on hypovolemic shock following which the clinical and biological examination was in favor of severe hemophilia A with factor VIII at 0.80%.
