Factor V deficiency and antenatal intraventricular haemorrhage.
Serial obstetric ultrasound showed the development of asymmetrical ventricular dilatation between 28 and 32 weeks' gestation. After delivery at 38 weeks, progressive ventricular dilatation required a ventriculo-atrial shunt. Investigation of postoperative bleeding into the cerebral ventricles consistently showed factor V values of only two per cent.
