Abstract:

Acute abdominal pain in haemophiliacs should be approached as haemorrhage until proven otherwise. With advancements in factor repletion and coagulopathic management a conservative approach should be considered. We describe a case of double colo-colonic intussusception lead by an intramural haematoma occurring spontaneously and resolving with conservative management in a young haemophiliac. This demonstrates that intussusception in these cases may be transient, and does not require surgical intervention.
