Abstract
Bleeding in patients on oral anticoagulant treatment is not uncommon, but hemarthrosis has been described only in few patients. This is a case report of a patient on warfarin due to recurrent venous and arterial thromboembolism, with congenital thrombophilia and Behcet's disease. This report presents knee hemarthrosis during warfarin therapy, reviews the literature and discusses this issue.
