title: [Vitamin K deficiency bleeding: a case secondary to transient neonatal cholestasis].
abstract: We report the case of late vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VLDB), with appropriate but insufficient prophylaxis, secondary to extrahepatic cholestasis. Late VKDB is rare today but serious, with a risk of intracranial hemorrhage in more than half of the cases. The diagnosis, causes and prevention of this disease are discussed.
