Summary
A miner with abdominal trauma developed a hepatic hematoma, treated conservatively. Post-treatment fluid accumulation led to laparotomy and Tc-99m DISIDA imaging, revealing complications from the liver injury.
Area of Science:
- Abdominal Trauma
- Hepatobiliary Surgery
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Abdominal crush injuries can cause significant internal organ damage.
- Hepatic hematomas are collections of blood within the liver, often resulting from trauma.
- Conservative management of hepatic hematomas requires careful monitoring for complications.
