Abstract
Hemophilia B, an X-linked recessive coagulation disorder, poses significant risks of life-threatening intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). This case report details the multidisciplinary rehabilitation of a 41-year-old male with moderate hemophilia B (FIX activity: 3.9%) and ICH in a resource-limited setting. Admitted to a high-dependency unit postneurosurgical intervention, the patient received low-dose prophylactic coagulation factor IX (maintained at 34.6%–66.2%) alongside real-time coagulation monitoring. A stepwise rehabilitation protocol was implemented, including early passive joint mobilization, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and progressive task-oriented training, tailored to minimize bleeding risk. Over 7 weeks, the patient achieved marked functional improvement: Activity of Daily Living score increased from 0 to 80, modified Rankin Scale improved from 5 to 3, and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) rose from 0 to 60, with no secondary bleeding. This case highlights the feasibility of integrating low-dose prophylaxis with early rehabilitation in developing countries, offering a cost-effective model to enhance functional recovery and reduce disability in hemophilia-related ICH.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
