Prophylactic substitution of severe (sometimes even moderate) haemophilia (home self-treatment) has, besides other measures, not only had a positive effect on the findings in the joints but also on the danger of bleeding in the CNS. The injuries of the head in haemophiliacs are analysed and the social integration is shown (school, occupation, spare-time planning). Compared with previous information in literature the high incidence of pathological EEG findings has decreased. Without observing clinically perceptible deficits, the acoustically evoked brain stem potentials were often found to be altered.
