Fig. 2 ( a ) 10.2 Fr pigtail catheter placed within the duodenal hematoma; ( b ) UGIS 3 days after catheter placement demonstrates the resolution of the duodenal obstruction and dilatation. The large mass shadow, previously seen, has disappeared. Percutaneous drainage is a safe and feasible method of treatment for a very large duodenal hematoma in children and should be considered as an alternative treatment option in similar cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
