A surgical case of cerebral hemorrhage in a patient with factor XI deficiency

Abstract: A 63-year-old man suddenly presented with right hemiplegia and was taken to our hospital. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed subcortical hemorrhage of the left parietal lobe. He had no medical history except hypertension; thus, it initially appeared to be a typical hypertensive hemorrhage. However, blood analysis showed an abnormally elevated activated partial thromboplastin time. One hour after admission, his Glasgow Coma Scale fell from 14 to 11. We performed an echo-guided stereotaxic removal of the hem… Show more

“…While neither FXI levels nor aPTT values were found to correlate with bleeding risk among FXI‐deficient adult patients, 22 there was a significant correlation between FXI levels and the presence of bleeding symptoms among our pediatric patients. Three patients in our cohort sustained an ICH, which is a rare complication among patients with FXI deficiency and only scarcely reported 23,24 . Notably, there were no cases of in utero or perinatal ICH among our patients.…”

“…However, the increasingly common preoperative coagulation screen testing indicates a greater‐than‐expected incidence . In addition, genetic mutations causing FXI deficiency have been reported in groups of other Middle East, Far East, and white ethnicities . Hence, it is not surprising that slightly more than one‐half of the patients in our series had no known Jewish ancestry, and many cases of FXI deficiency were discovered during preoperative work‐up.…”

“…Neurosurgical intervention in the acute setting of intracranial hemorrhage in patients with HC is often reserved for those with a deteriorating neurological exam and /or/ clinically significant hemorrhage with mass effect. Beyond prompt surgical intervention the perioperative management of HC is of paramount importance to optimize outcomes [2,3]…”
