摘要
Morel-Lavallee lesions (MLL) are rarely diagnosed posttraumatic sequel. They follow closed degloving injuries due to accumulation of blood and debris in the subcutaneous plane. Though they are not uncommon, they are rarely diagnosed which results in delay in their treatment. Diagnosis is through a combination of clinical examination, history, and imaging studies. MRI is the diagnostic modality of choice. Different treatments have been used for their management like compression therapy, sclerosant injection, pulse lavage, and open debridement. These treatments have met with varying success. Treatment protocols vary when managing acute and chronic MLL. The knowledge of such lesions hastens their diagnosis and treatment. © Springer-Verlag 2012.
