Depending on its severity, hemophilia should be subjected to different treatments, either prophylaxis or on demand. It has been one of the most important hemorrhagic diseases, with the highest morbidity and mortality worldwide for decades. It is an alteration in the coagulation cascade, directly affecting factor VIII, preventing hemostasis against possible bleeding; these can occur in different body areas —the most vulnerable being the joints and muscles—. The case of a 10-year-old boy diagnosed with severe hemophilia A at eight months of age initially manifested with ecchymosis in the groin, complicated by the development of inhibitors and multiple hemorrhages.
