The short foot syndrome--an unfortunate consequence of neglected raised intracompartmental pressure in a severe hemophilic child: a case report.
The vast majority of bleeding episodes in hemophilia occur in the musculoskeletal system. When bleeding occurs, within a closed compartment, the possibility of neurovascular compromise must be suspected. We present an interesting case where this danger was overlooked in a young hemophiliac boy and resulted in bone growth retardation and permanent deformity.
