Abstract
A 5-month-old infant with hitherto undiagnosed hemophilia A, who developed
a unilateral lower motor neurone type of facial palsy, is described. A high
-resolution CT scan confirmed the nerve palsy to be a consequence of a hemo
tympanum. The patient recovered completely in 7-10 days after therapy with
factor VIII concentrate.
