Abstract

A case of a 3-year-old boy with severe haemophilia A who had a successful neurosurgical drainage of a combined spontaneous left temporal subdural and intra-parenchimal haematoma is reported. Surgical intervention was required because of clinical worsening during conservative treatment with dexamethasone and factor VIII (FVIII) replacement therapy. Continuous FVIII infusion was given before, during and after the procedure. There were no surgical complications and neurological examination remains intact. Neurosurgical interventions may be reserved for special, high-risk cases, as the one presented.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
