Abstract: Hemophilia is an autosomal recessive disease linked to the X chromosome. It runs with Factor VIII deficiency (Type A, more frequent), and Factor IX deficiency (Type B). A hemophilic pseudotumor is an infrequent complication of this disease, mainly in severe cases. Starker was the first to report a case in a 14 year old boy, in 1918. The estimated incidence is of 1-2% in severe hemophiliacs, although some pseudotumors have been reported in moderate cases. This kind of tumor is generally seen in long bones such as femur and humerus, pelvis, and small bones of hands and feet. Cases have also been reported in the cranium, orbit and facial bones, and only one previously similar to this case report. We present a case of an intracranial subdural hemophilic pseudo tumor in a patient with type A severe hemophilia.
