These disorders pose unique challenges in the management of these patients who often have concurrent acute ischemic and hemorrhagic injuries. Although neurosurgical intervention in such cases may be unavoidable and potentially life-saving, these patients should be closely observed after instrumentation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nCase Description: <\/jats:title>\nA 57-year-old male with liver cirrhosis secondary to amyloid light-chain amyloidosis was admitted to the intensive care unit for the management of delayed hydrocephalus. An external ventricular drain (EVD) was placed for the treatment and monitoring of hydrocephalus. Five days after EVD placement, a head computed tomography scan revealed a tract hemorrhage. However, on repeated imaging, the size of the hemorrhage continued to increase despite aggressive blood pressure control and several doses of phytonadione. Extensive coagulopathy workup was remarkable for low factor VII levels. In that setting, recombinant activated factor VII was administered to normalize factor VII levels, and the tract hemorrhage stabilized.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion: <\/jats:title>\nTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of spontaneous hemorrhage after EVD placement in the setting of liver cirrhosis-associated factor VII deficiency. Our case highlights the importance of identifying coagulation disorders in neurosurgical patients at high risk for coagulopathy and closely monitoring them postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_446_2020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,25]],"date-time":"2020-11-25T05:59:51Z","timestamp":1606283991000},"page":"403","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Spontaneous hemorrhage after external ventricular drain placement in the setting of low factor VII secondary to liver cirrhosis"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Melissa Ming Jie","family":"Chua","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, United States."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alvin S.","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, United States."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Julie Aurore","family":"Losman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, United States."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nirav J.","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, United States."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saef","family":"Izzy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, United States."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_446_2020\/ref-1","first-page":"131","article-title":"Routine use of vitamin k in the treatment of cirrhosis-related coagulopathy: Is it A-O-K?","volume":"44","author":"Aldrich","year":"2019","journal-title":"Maybe not we say.
