Abstract Intracranial haemorrhage is a serious problem in haemostatic disorders in children. Intracranial bleeding is sometimes more marked than suspected clinically. Computed tomography (CT) permits accurate, sensitive diagnosis of intracranial haemorrhage. We report 13 patients; 3 patients with hypoprothrombinaemia, 4 patients with thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction and 6 with haemophilia A, B or Von-Willebrand's disease. One patient with hypoprothrombinaemia had a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), one a subdural haematoma (SDH) and the third a combination of SAH, SDH and intracerebral haematoma (ICH). One patient with thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction had a SDH, while the others had ICH. In the six patients with haemophilia A, B or Von-Willebrand's disease, there were four examples of ICH, five of SAH and six of SDH. A neurosurgical procedure was performed in only one patient. Three children died of serious intracranial complications with uncal herniation.
