Bilateral iliopsoas hematoma is an uncommon phenomenon, which has been described in individuals receiving anticoagulation therapy. The hematoma is caused by bleeding of arteries to the muscle. In rare cases, pseudoaneurysms can also be formed. We present a case of an adolescent, with partial factor XI deficiency, who experienced a mild fall. Imaging studies revealed large bilateral iliopsoas hematomas and bilateral iliopsoas pseudoaneurysms. One pseudoaneurysm was demonstrated by angiography and was embolized with micro coils. The second, more persistent one, was sealed via ultrasound-guided thrombin injection, with excellent morphological and clinical results.
Mycotic aortic aneurysm is a rare vascular condition, with high-risk for fatal complications. In cases of bacterial infection, prolonged antibiotic therapy is administered. There is no consensus on duration of antibiotic therapy and close follow-up is recommended following surgical and endovascular interventions. We report a case of a patient, who was diagnosed with mycotic aneurysm and underwent successful endovascular repair. Extended postoperative antibiotic treatment was administered. The duration was determined by sequential Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scans over a period of 6 months.
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.
