Congenital factor X deficiency is a rare inherited coagulation disorder, characterized by prolonged prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time. For the definite diagnosis, specific factor X level should be investigated. We describe a patient with factor X deficiency who had intracranial hemorrhage. Hematologic tests showed prolonged prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, and a factor X level of 5%. The patient's hemorrhage resolved with fresh frozen plasma replacement. In this article, we discuss the clinical features and management of factor X deficiency.
