As a result of the frequency of hemorrhage into the iliopsoas muscles in hemophiliacs, the femoral nerve is most commonly compressed. 2.

The third major site is within the cranial cavity, and bleeding here is probably considered the most dreaded complication of the disease, by patient and physician alike.
