Description
Muhammad Khubaib Ullah leads a team of ten clinicians reporting a bleeding disorder. It first showed up as a blood collection in the duodenum of a small girl. Factor XIII deficiency tends to show in childhood in set ways. These ways are umbilical stump bleeding, soft tissue bleeds, and brain hemorrhages. Mouth bleeding and wounds that heal poorly also occur. This girl, aged three, came to the emergency department with abdominal pain and vomiting.
Scans found a duodenal hematoma. That is an atypical debut, and the report sets it out in full. She was cared for without an operation, under the pediatric surgery team. The authors share the case to widen what clinicians look for. A rare clotting factor flaw can hide behind a surgical-looking abdomen in a small child. A scan-first path can spare such a child an operation she does not need at all.
