Abstract: | Haemophilia disorders are characterised by a blood coagulation anomaly leading to prolonged and excessive bleeding. Imaging
provides an essential role in the investigation of both the musculoskeletal and the non-musculoskeletal complications of haemophilia.
Our institution is home to a large tertiary referral centre for haemophilia treatment. Using our broad experience, we present
a multi-modality pictorial review of the musculoskeletal manifestations of haemophilia, including haemophilic arthropathy,
intra-muscular haemorrhage and haemophilic pseudotumour. The main imaging features of haemophilic arthropathy are described,
including synovial hypertrophy, haemosiderin deposition, sub-chondral cyst formation and loss of joint space. |
