AB Aggressive  treatment  of  hemophilia  patients  with  head  trauma  is  imperative,  as  signs  and  symptoms  of  intracranial  bleeding  may  be  delayed.  Even  though  initial  imaging  studies  may  be  normal,  factor  replacement  is  indicated  and  careful  monitoring  of  the  patient  is  crucial  to  detect  subtle  changes  in  mental  status.Patients  with  hemophilia  and  inhibitors  remain  challenging  management  cases  and  are  best  cared  for  in  conjunction  with  a  hematologist.Treatment  options  for  idiopathic  thrombocytopenic  purpura  (ITP)  are  based  on  the  clinical  severity  of  bleeding.  Consultation  with  a  hematologist  is  indicated  for  patients  with  bleeding  complications.
