title: Ultrasonography in the management of haemophilia.
abstract: Ultrasonography was used to demonstrate retroperitioneal haemorrhages and intramuscular haematoma in three patients with antibodies to factor VIII and one with von Willebrand's disease in whom major bleeding episodes occurred. Scans were useful in demonstrating the presence, location, size and regression of haemorrhages.
