Popis: Procedures in the field of head and neck surgery can be complicated by haemorrhage and post-operative bleeding. Whilst it is commonplace to screen for coagulopathies in the pre-operative period, rare congenital bleeding disorders can be difficult to detect and can have significant consequences. We report a case of post-operative bleeding following routine sinus surgery due to an undiagnosed case of haemophilia A in a 65-year-old male.
