Fifty-four hemophiliac patients underwent a total of 94 studies using computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, or both. Not only common bleeding sites such as the iliopsoas muscles but also several unusual sites were encountered: these included the iliac bone, bowel wall, mesentery, rectus abdominis muscle, retroperitoneum, bladder wall, and scrotum. Both modalities gave comparable results, and each was helpful in (a) establishing the diagnosis, (b) evaluating the extent of bleeding and its effect on adjacent organs, and (c) demonstrating regression after treatment.
