Background: The Morel-Lavallée Injury (MLI) is a closed soft tissue injury as a result of an abrupt separation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue from the underlying fascia degloving. Clinically this lesion is presented as a long and painful injury to the affected part with soft tissue swelling and fluctuation. Clinical case: Male of 37 years-old, who suffered accident by crushing multiple dermoabrasives injuries drag and edema of both lower extremities without bone fractures, four months after he underwent a needle puncture in the left leg obtaining liquid 1400 ml, practiced 3 times the same procedure with reduced liquid each time. Ultrasound liquid is observed in the affected area septate on the inner side of the leg. Discussion: The MLI is presented to one debonding or avulsion of the skin by the tangential mechanism of injury where a shearing damage to hemolinphatic contribution of the tissues around the muscle fascia occurs,which favors filling with hematic fluid, lymphatic , liquefied fat and debris. All this is surrounded by granulation tissue, a fibrotic organizing pseudocapsule or capsule that prevents reabsorption of liquid; this explains the late onset of MLI. The current treatment of this disease is variable and depends according to the time of diagnosis. Surgical management should be reserved for recalcitrant lesions where aspiration and compression have not been successful.

Limited Incisional Drainage and Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy in an Acute Morel-Lavallée Lesion

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A Morel-Lavallée lesion is a post-traumatic closed degloving soft tissue injury after blunt trauma. Infection and skin necrosis frequently occur if it is not treated properly in the early stages. However, there is no clearly established treatment algorithm. In the acute stage, it is mainly treated with aspiration, simple compression, and incisional drainage. In the chronic stage, sclerotherapy is usually performed. If skin necrosis develops, the necrotic tissue is resected and a skin graft is needed. We describe a case of acute Morel-Lavallée lesion in the buttock region that was treated with limited incisional drainage and negative-pressure wound therapy, and also present a review of the literature.
