title: Diagnosis and anaesthesia management of haemophilia during the neonatal period.
abstract: We report here the case of a newborn infant admitted to our hospital for moderate gastro-intestinal bleeding. Despite abnormal value for aPTT, diagnosis of moderate haemophilia A was only made preoperatively when surgery was deemed necessary to treat pyloric stenosis. Clinical circumstances of the diagnosis and anaesthesia management of haemophilia during the neonatal period are discussed.
