Bleeding Due to Vitamin K-Dependent Factor Deficiency in a Patient Taking Topiramate: A Case Report

Topiramate is a well-known medication used for migraine and epilepsy. Bleeding is a rare and less documented side-effect of this treatment. The authors present a rare case of bleeding in a patient who was started on topiramate, which was likely due to a vitamin K-dependent factor deficiency. Clinicians should take caution if any bleeding event is noted in patients on topiramate, and stop administering this drug.
