A 33-day old infant was presented to the hospital after difficulty breathing and breastfeeding. The patient had a history of hyperbilirubinemia with acute hypoxic respiratory failure, felt secondary to a mediastinal mass, severe metabollic lactic acidosis, anemia, and acute severe coagulopathy. This patient was denied vitamin K prophylaxis at birth at discretion of the parents. Vitamin K deficency subsequently caused coagulopathy and jaundiced skin, which associate with Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding. Presented is a case of thymic hemorrhage in a neonate demonstrating as a mimic lesion on imaging.

The identified symptoms represent the potential sequelae of thymic hemorrhage. Read More
