Iliopsoas hematoma due to muscular rupture following defibrillation

Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg. 2013 Nov;19(6):564-6. doi: 10.5505/tjtes.2013.74152.

Abstract

We describe a 62 year old patient who presented with acute anterior ischemia and subsequently developed an iliopsoas hematoma. The patient was treated surgically due to rapid progression and femoral neuropathy, and the iliopsoas muscle rupture was diagnosed intraoperatively. The rupture was related to the external electrical defibrillation the patient had on admission. This was a rare case, and we hope the report would help to raise physicians' awareness regarding this complication and treatment.
