Abstract

A fifty-seven-year-old male patient on warfarin therapy presented to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain that had started after a cough episode and persisted for four days. Ultrasonography showed an extensive hematoma, 17x14x7 cm in size, but failed to determine whether it was located intraabdominally or in the abdominal wall. Computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis of abdominal wall hematoma (25x21x10 cm). The patient was treated conservatively, and abdominal findings esolved progressively in three days. This case report illustrates that ultrasonography findings may sometimes be inconclusive and, in the early period, computed tomography may be required to confirm the diagnosis of abdominal wall hematomas. Giant abdominal wall hematomas can be successfully treated with conservative methods even physical findings of acute abdomen accompany the clinical picture. To our knowledge, this is the largest abdominal wall hematoma hitherto reported in the literature.

Özet

Warfarin tedavisi görmekte olan 57 yaşında erkek hasta, öksürük sonrası meydana gelen dört günlük şiddetli karın ağrısı ile acil servise getirildi. Ultrasonografi 17x14x7 cm boyutlarında yaygın bir hematom alanı göstermesine rağmen, intraabdominal ya da karın duvarı yerleşimi konusunda kesin bulgu sağlayamadı. Bilgisayarlı tomografide lezyonun dev bir karın duvarı hematomu olduğu (25x21x10 cm) görüldü. Hastaya konservatif tedavi uygulandı ve abdominal bulgular üç gün içinde iyileşti. Bu olguda, karın duvarı hematomlarında ultrasonografi bulgularının bazen kesin bilgi vermeyebileceği ve tanıyı kesinleştirmek için erken evrede bilgisayarlı tomografiye başvurmak gerektiği görüldü. Dev karın duvarı hematomlarının, akut batın bulguları varlığında bile konservatif yöntemlerle, cerrahiye gereksinim duyulmadan tedavi edilebileceği vurgulandı. Olgunun, bugüne kadar literatürde bildirilen en büyük karın duvarı hematomu olduğu sonucuna varıldı.
