- Abstract
Non-traumatic spinal epidural haematoma is a rare complication of haemophilia. We report a seven-month-old boy who presented with symptomatic spinal epidural haematoma. He was found to have a hemophilia B trait, and after factor IX replacement, his neurological signs were stabilized and follow-up MRI demonstrated rapid resolution of the haematoma. This illustrative case suggests that surgical intervention can be deferred as the first step in treating spinal epidural haematoma in a haemophilic infant.
