Endoscopic treatment and sclerosis of a Morel-Lavallee.Case Report

Abstract

The Morel-Lavallée lesion is closed soft tissue pathology, caused by the traumatic separation of the skin and subcutaneous cellular tissue of the muscular fascia. Due to its association with high-energy trauma, it can go unnoticed, generating a late diagnosis. Its location is variable, the lumbar region being rare. Generally, with early diagnosis and conservative treatment, good results are obtained. We present a case report of a twenty-year-old female patient suffering a car accident with a late-diagnosed collection located in the thoracolumbar region. She was treated endoscopically and with the application of sclerosing agents. Good results were obtained with remission of the collection.
