Haemomediastinum is a very rare complication in haemophilia. Its occurrence after a minor chest injury in a boy aged 11 years is described. Complete recovery followed conservative treatment, which consisted of the correction of the coagulation defect with cryoprecipitate-AHG for 11 days, and a blood transfusion.
