Abstract:
Objective To evaluate CT findings and dynamic changes of post-traumatic intrapulmonary hematoma.Methods CT data of 43 patients with traumatic intrapulmonary hematomas were analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 52 lesions were found in 43 patients with intrapulmonary hematomas.The majority of hematomas were located in the peripheral lung fields close to the pleura,single or multiple in number.CT showed nodular,mass,fusiform,ribbon and irregular shadows with uniform and high density in lung.There are two types of evolution: (1) The hematomas gradually reduced in size and finally disappeared;(2)The hematomas evolved into gas-liquid cyst cavity or gas cyst cavity, and then was absorbed gradually.Conclusion CT examination is helpful in the early diagnosis of post-traumatic intrapulmonary hematomas, and can monitor the morphology changes over time.
