    Ultrasonography effectively identified splenic hematomas in five patients following blunt abdominal trauma. This noninvasive imaging technique confirmed surgical findings and demonstrated excellent patient recovery, highlighting its diagnostic value.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Diagnostic Ultrasonography

    Background:

    • Blunt abdominal trauma can lead to splenic injuries, including hematomas.
    • Clinical presentation of splenic hematomas can be subtle, with nonpalpable masses.
    • Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective management of splenic trauma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of ultrasonography in diagnosing splenic hematomas.
    • To assess the correlation between imaging findings and surgical confirmation.
    • To determine the noninvasive diagnostic capability of ultrasonography for splenic injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series of five patients with blunt abdominal trauma.
    • Utilized ultrasonography and other imaging modalities for patient assessment.

  • Surgical confirmation of all diagnosed splenic hematomas.

    • Main Results:

    • Ultrasonography identified large, fluid-filled masses in the left upper quadrant in all five patients.
    • Splenic hematomas were surgically confirmed in all cases.
    • All patients recovered without complications following diagnosis and treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasonic tomography is a convenient and noninvasive method for assessing suspected splenic hematomas.
    • Ultrasonography can accurately diagnose splenic hematomas and guide clinical management.
    • This imaging modality is valuable in excluding splenic injury when findings are negative.
