ABSTRACT
We report a case of a 24-day-old male neonate who presented with multiple episodes of apnea, poor feeding, excessive crying, irritability, vomiting, and yellowish discoloration. The patient did not receive a vitamin K injection at birth, and most likely, the neonate’s dietary intake was insufficient to meet vitamin K requirements for coagulation, which resulted in an intracranial hemorrhage, which ultimately resulted in the mortality of the child.
