Abstract
|
|
|
|
A Morel-Lavallee lesion is a posttraumatic, closed internal degloving injury caused by shearing force abruptly separating the skin and superficial fascia from the deep fascia and creating a potential space. Blood, lymphatic fluid, and debris collect and fill the space. The most commonly affected sites are the thigh, knee, hip, and pelvic area, but the lesion can occur anywhere in the body. Among various treatments, surgical procedure is a good option if the lesion is chronic and a thick peripheral capsule has developed. We report an uncommon case of a chronic Morel-Lavallee lesion in the sacrococcygeal area, a rarely reported location, with an associated coccygeal fracture and dislocation.
