Epidural hematoma is a rare complication of hemophilia. Case report: We report the case of a 10-month-old child admitted with motor deficits; a spinal MRI revealed an extensive epidural hematoma and the initial diagnosis of hemophilia. The child is responding well to medical treatment. Conclusion: Sudden spinal pain and/or motor deficits should raise the suspicion of an epidural hematoma in a child, and hemophilia should be investigated as an underlying cause. Treatment is primarily medical, involving substitution with coagulation factors. This should be initiated before the diagnosis is confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The clinical evolution is most often favorable.
