[Successful electroconvulsive treatment of a schizophrenic patient suffering from severe hemophilia A]

Experiences obtained with the electroconvulsive treatment of a schizophrenic patient suffering from severe haemophilia A are reported. No haemorrhagic complications were observed. According to our experiences electroconvulsive therapy can be applied also in severe haemophilia A if satisfactory replacement therapy can be ensured. Similar case has not been found in the literature.
