Abstract
We describe the case of a spinal epidural haematoma in an infant with severe haemophilia A. Initial signs and symptoms were non-specific resulting in delay of the diagnosis and more definitive therapy. The patient eventually developed torticollis, acute flaccid paralysis of the upper extremities, and respiratory distress, prompting radiological examination of the spinal cord. The patient was treated with recombinant FactorVIII and laminectomy. Neurological recovery was complete 3 months following the event. We hypothesize that infants with haemophilia may be at higher risk for this rare complication because of their increasing mobility, frequent falls while cruising furniture, and lack of prophylactic factor replacement. Non-specific signs such as irritability without a focus should alert the clinician to this diagnostic possibility. Torticollis should prompt rapid radiological evaluation of the cervical spine with magnetic resonance imaging to avoid delay in diagnosis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
