Retrobulbar Hemorrhage Secondary to Acquired Hemophilia A
Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a different bleeding disorder to that of classic hemophilia A. It is an autoimmune-mediated bleeding disorder due to the presence of autoantibodies (inhibitors) directed against plasma coagulation factor VIII. This can result in fatal hemorrhage; thus, eradication of t...

Sumario: | Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a different bleeding disorder to that of classic hemophilia A. It is an autoimmune-mediated bleeding disorder due to the presence of autoantibodies (inhibitors) directed against plasma coagulation factor VIII. This can result in fatal hemorrhage; thus, eradication of the antibody is the mainstay of treatment. Nontraumatic retrobulbar hemorrhage is a very rare presentation of hemophilia. We report an elderly male presenting with retrobulbar hemorrhage secondary to AHA who was successfully treated with immunosuppression. |
