Abstract:
Hemophilia is a recessive hereditary hemorrhagic disease linked with sex chromosomes. The main clinical manifestations of hemophilia are repeated bleeding of muscles and joints. Hemophilia muscular diseases can cause acute compartment syndrome, pseudotumor formation, muscular atrophy and ossifying myositis. Ultrasonography has advantages of real-time, noninvasive, simple, quick, strong repeatability and high resolution, which has been widely used in diagnosis of hemophilia muscular diseases. The application progresses of ultrasound in diagnosis of hemophilia muscular diseases were reviewed in this article.
