SUMMARY Adequate neck contour is one of the goals in facial rejuvenation. In some patients, treating the submandibular salivary gland (SMSG) ensures a satisfying result. Hematoma, sialoma, and paralysis of the depressors of the lower lip may occur when the deep neck is approached. The objective of this work is to present a new tactic to prevent the aforementioned complications. Two hundred fort...

To identify risk factors for post-thyroidectomy hematoma requiring airway intervention or surgery ("wound hematoma") and determine post-thyroidectomy time to intervention. Post-thyroidectomy hematoma is rare but potentially lethal. Information on wound hematoma in a nationwide clinical setting is scarce.Using the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination database, we extracted data from records ...

Spontaneous hemorrhage from a parathyroid adenoma is an extremely rare but potentially serious complication. Clinical signs and symptoms depend on the volume and location of the hematoma and include a mass in the neck, ecchymosis, pain, and symptoms from the compression of adjacent structures. In extreme cases, the hemorrhage may extend to the mediastinum and the pleural cavity, causing chest p...

A 73-yr-old male with atrial fibrillation presented for pulmonary vein mapping and isolation. Following uneventful tracheal intubation, femoral vein catheters and a 7-Fr right internal jugular vein (IJV) catheter were placed with ultrasound guidance. After the seven-hour procedure, a large right neck hematoma was apparent. Ultrasound examination showed no compromise of the IJV or carotid artery...

BACKGROUND Acute spontaneous neck haematoma is rare in children. This rare type of hematoma occurs abruptly without any preceding trauma or iatrogenic damage, making it very difficult to determine the cause precisely. We report here the first two cases of acute spontaneous neck haematoma presenting with neck swelling, and discuss in this article the diagnosis and treatment strategy in our patie...

Background Acute spontaneous neck haematoma is rare in children, especially in infants. This rare type of hematoma occurs abruptly without any preceding trauma or iatrogenic damage, making it very difficult to determine the cause precisely. We report here the first two cases of acute spontaneous neck haematoma presenting with neck swelling, and discuss in this article the diagnosis and treatmen...

A 25-year-old man underwent an excision of a thigh mass under general anesthesia without any complication. After the operation, he developed oxygen desaturation requiring a jaw thrust maneuver. A rapidly expanding hematoma on the right side of the neck was formed shortly after the application of the maneuver. The patient was returned to the operation room for a neck exploration. Damage to the f...

Cervical epidural steroid injection is frequently used in the conservative management of neck pain and cervical radiculopathy. Epidural cervical transforaminal injections are usually well-tolerated with mild side effects such as transient decreased sensory and motor function, or headache due to dural puncture. Although there are a few case reports about adverse effects of cervical epidural inje...
