Spinal cord bleeds with compression are a relatively rare complication of haemophilia. Review of the literature indicates that most cases are not associated with significant trauma or spinal fracture and the course of recovery is variable. A case of quadriplegia is presented emphasizing problems in skin care, bladder management, and mobilization during rehabilitation. Prophylaxis and control of continuous bleeds, catheter-free status, and early management of extremity bleeds are stressed in the light of preventing complications resulting in further disability.
