Posterior fossa extradural haematoma with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis precipitates haemophilia a diagnosis: a paediatric case report and literature review

A unifying diagnosis for these incongruent radiological features presented distinct diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Haematological screening can be misleading in paediatric patients with unclear implications as a diagnostic measure. Excluding coagulopathies is more significant if neurosurgical intervention is indicated, evaluated against individual clinical correlates and symptomatology. In the absence of standardised guidelines for the management of traumatic paediatric EDH with intercurrent CVST and IBDs, the case presented an invitation to thought.
