Popis:	Objective: To report a case of comorbidity of constrictive pericarditis and hemophilia A. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 21-year-old male with hemophilia A was referred to our clinic and was examined with the subsequent evaluation of shortness of breath, leg edema and ascites. Clinical and laboratory examinations were performed. The results were consistent with constrictive pericarditis (CP), and the symptoms were completely relieved following institution of medical therapy. Conclusion: Because hemophilia A and pericarditis may be coincidentally present clinical conditions, avoidance of surgical procedures in hemophilic patients is preferable unless the resolution of the symptoms of pericarditis cannot be effected by medical therapy.
