Abstract

Hemophiliae has the frequent episode of spontaneous hemorrhage into joint and muscle and arthropathy, a major source of disability in hemophilia, ensues in joint, in proportion to the frequency of bleeding. This relation suggests that repeated hemorrhage into joints is responsible for the arthritis. This paper described a case of hemophilia, A type in a managed 22 years who was admitted with pain and limited motion of both kness, ankles and elbow joints. Considerable improvement could be achieved with conservative measures as medication, rest and traction.
