Overview

On CT, hemophilia is characterized by haemorrhage into joints or soft-tissue.

CT

The hallmark of the disease is haemorrhage, particularly into joints and/or soft-tissue, with three main radiological consequences:

• Hemophilic arthropathy occurring in almost all individuals
• Hemophilic pseudotumor occurring in ~2%
• Soft tissue haematoma formation, may lead to contractures 3
• Serious life-threatening haemorrhage (intracranial, thoracic, abdominal)
