Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in children with hemophilia is not a commonly occurring event. Retrospective studies performed estimate the incidence of ICH to be 3.4%-4.0%. Signs of ICH in children clinically are difficult to assess and often result in a delay in the diagnosis. The timely diagnosis of ICH is critical for the early and intensive factor replacement therapy that the patient needs. We report a case of ICH in a child with severe hemophilia A with no family history.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
