Yenidoğan Bir Bebekte Warfarin İlişkili İntrakranial Kanama: Vaka Sunumu

Abstract

Warfarin, özellikle mekanik prostetik kalp kapağına sahip kişilerde tromboembolik olayların önlenmesinde yaygın olarak kullanılan bir antikoagülandır. Gebelik sırasında warfarin kullanımı konjenital anomali ve intrakranial kanama gibi ciddi komplikasyonlara neden olabilmektedir. Yenidoğanda warfarin ilişkili kanama, ender görülen bir komplikasyondur. Bu vaka sunumunda, mitral kapak rep- lasmanı nedeni ile yedi yıldır warfarin kullanan 29 yaşın- daki bir annenin bebeğinde meydana gelen intraventriküler ve subaraknoid kanama rapor edilerek gebelikte warfarin kullanımına dikkat çekilmek istendi

Warfarin-Associated Intracranial Hemorrhage in a Newborn: Case Report

Abstract

Warfarin is an anticoagulant which is frequently used in persons with mechanical heart valves at risk of thrombosis or embolism. Warfarin therapy during pregnancy can cause serious complications such as congenital malforma- tions and intracranial hemorrhage. Warfarin-associated neonatal bleeding event is a rare complication. Here, we report a neonate with intraventricular and subarachnoid hemorrhage whose 29- year- old- mother has used warfa- rin for seven years, because of mitral valve replacement. We want to draw attention to the use of warfarin during pregnancy with this case report
