Abstract:
A 5-month-old infant with hitherto undiagnosed hemophilia A, who developed a unilateral lower motor neurone type of facial palsy, is described. A high-resolution CT scan confirmed the nerve palsy to be a consequence of a hemotympanum. The patient recovered completely in 7-10 days after therapy with factor VIII concentrate.
