Post-traumatic hematoma is often associated with severe, extensive injuries. In patients with blood coagulation disorders, hematoma can occur even after innocuous injuries. Among these coagulation disorders is hemophilia, an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by hemorrhagic manifestations. The aim of this article is to report a case of massive scrotal hematoma following trauma in a 24-year-old hemophiliac with no signs of severity who benefited from medical treatment with infusion of coagulation factors with a good clinico-biological evolution.

Anticoagulant Drugs: Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins

Hemostasis is a crucial process that prevents excessive blood loss from damaged blood vessels. It involves various mechanisms such as vasoconstriction, platelet adhesion and activation, and fibrin formation. The importance of each mechanism depends on the type of vessel injury. In contrast, thrombosis is the abnormal formation of a blood clot within the blood vessels, leading to potential complications if the clot obstructs blood flow. Thrombosis can be caused by increased coagulability of the...
