Morel-Lavallee Lesions-Review of Pathophysiology, Clinical Findings, Imaging Findings and Management

Surgical Management of Morel-Lavallee Lesion

Clinical Experience of Morel-Lavallee Syndrome

91 Tuberculosis of the oral cavity is often a consequence of active pulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculosis of the oral cavity may occasionally result from a hematogenous spread of mycobacteria [1]. However, in the described patient, tuberculosis was not detected at any other body site. Although the larynx is commonly involved in upper respiratory tract tuberculosis, the anterior pillar of the fau...

Morel-lavallee lesion in children

Morel-Lavallee lesion (MLL) is a closed degloving injury resulting from blunt shearing or tangential forces. In this condition, hemolymph is collected in the closed space between the separated subcutaneous tissue and the underlying fascia. The clinical manifestation of MLL varies from soft fluctuant swelling to skin necrosis or wound sepsis. Due to its inconsistent clinical manifestations and d...

Missed Massive Morel-Lavallee Lesion

A Morel-Lavallee lesion (MLL) involves posttraumatic fluid collection around the greater trochanter. Many cases of MLL are missed at the initial evaluation, and the treatment of MLL is not well established. We present two cases in which MLL was missed at the initial evaluation. Case 1. A 65-year-old man was run over by a parade float. There was subcutaneous hematoma around the left greater troc...

Imaging findings of intraventricular and ependymal lesions.

Intraventricular and ependymal lesions comprise a wide spectrum of tumoral, cystic, vascular, infectious and inflammatory disorders. With respect to tumoral and cystic diseases, the location, age and CT and MRI patterns are the main factors for diagnosis. The MRI findings of infectious diseases are supported by the clinical history, immune status and laboratory findings. Intracranial associated...
