<p>Background. The inhibitors to F VIII are unusual in case of a mild haemophilia because the replacement therapy is seldom necessary. In case of severe trauma, when prolonged replacement therapy of F VIII is needed, the appearance of the inhibitors is more frequent. The mild form of the disease becomes a severe one and the haemorrhages are frequent.</p><p>Patient and methods. In case of our patient with mild form of haemophilia, the inhibitors to F VIII developed after prolonged replacement therapy for treatement of subdural haemorrhage.

Due to poor compliance of an elder patient we didn’t decide to treat the inhibitors for F VIII actively.<br /><br /></p>
