Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) -related intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is believed to be associated with at least one known risk factor for ICH, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, severe pneumonia, or anticoagulation therapy. However, in this study, we report a case of ICH in a 14-year-old boy with mild COVID-19 infection without pneumonia who had no such risk factors. The only abnormal laboratory finding was temporary depletion of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors. This case indicates that COVID-19 infection may cause simultaneous asymptomatic intracranial microhemorrhages and temporary depletion of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors. This temporary depletion might transform the intracranial microhemorrhages into symptomatic ICH.
