Abstract

Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematomas can cause maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy. A female patient with 10 weeks’ gestation was referred to our clinic with back pain by her gynecologist for retroperitoneal mass excision and termination of pregnancy, due to the retroperitoneal malignancy seen on ultrasonography. MRI revealed a 90x110 mm retroperitoneal hematoma adjacent to the posterior of the left kidney. The patient was followed conservatively for 7 days and discharged without any fatal or maternal complications. We recommend that advanced imaging methods should be preferred in selected cases.

Özet

Spontan retroperitoneal hematomlar hamilelik sırasında maternal ve fetal komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. 10 haftalık gebeliği olan bir kadın hasta sırt ağrısı ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hasta jinekoloğu tarafından, ultrasonografide görülen retroperitoneal malignite nedeniyle retroperitoneal kitle eksizyonu ve gebeliğin sonlandırılması için yönlendirilmişti. MRG'de sol böbreğin arka tarafına bitişik 90x110 mm retroperitoneal hematom saptandı. Hasta 7 gün boyunca konservatif olarak takip edildi ve ölümcül veya maternal komplikasyon gelişmeksizin taburcu edildi. Seçilmiş vakalarda gelişmiş görüntüleme yöntemlerinin tercih edilmesini öneririz.
