[Diagnosis of muscle hematomas and pseudotumors in hemophilia]
Two hundred and twenty-six patients with haemophilia A and B were examined by CT. In 135 cases, some form of bleeding was demonstrated. CT permits exact anatomical localisation of the haematoma and its delineation from neighbouring structures. Measurements of the densities of the haematomas make it possible to determine their age from the change in absorption values. Computed tomography makes it easier for the clinician to choose between conservative or surgical treatment and to determine the duration of treatment during the regression of the haematoma.
