Acquired hemophilia is a relatively rare clinical presentation, and most cases present with acquired FVIII inhibitor. The co-occurrence of inhibitors to multiple coagulation factors is uncommon. These autoantibodies may induce spontaneous life-threatening bleeding in patients who have had no previous bleeding disorder. Herein, we present a patient with postpartum acquired FVIII and FIX inhibitors who developed intramuscular hematoma and hemothorax during follow-up. She was then treated with activated prothrombin complex concentrate and methylprednisolone.
