Abstract
We report the first known case of acute upper and lower airway obstruction due to retropharyngeal haemorrhage secondary to acquired haemophilia A. The patient required tracheal intubation and ventilation followed by surgical tracheostomy, prior to transfer to the intensive care unit for management of her coagulopathy with recombinant clotting factor products under the care of the haematologists.
