Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the etiology, clinical manifestations, treatment methods, and prognosis of patients with iliopsoas muscle hematoma compressing the lumbar plexus.Methods:The clinical data of 11 cases of iliopsoas muscle hematoma oppressing the lumbar plexus nerve admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University between March 2014 and May 2018 were analyzed.Results:Eleven patients, consisting of 10 men and 1 woman, aged (36.36 ± 6.74) years were analyzed. Causes of iliopsoas muscle hematoma oppressing the lumbar plexus nerve included coagulation abnormality ( n = 8) and trauma ( n = 3). Iliopsoas muscle hematoma occurred on the left side in 7 cases and on the right side in 4 cases. Among them, 11 cases had bleeding in the middle area, 8 cases in the lower area, and 2 cases in the upper area. The involved lumbar plexus nerve included the femoral nerve ( n = 11), lateral femoral cutaneous nerve ( n = 6), and obturator nerve ( n = 2). Eleven cases underwent causative treatment ( n = 11). Three-month follow-up results showed that the hematomas were completely absorbed in 11 cases, and the bone and joint activities were normal. The sensory and motor functions were restored in 10 cases. The sensory function was restored, but the recovery of motor function was poor in 1 patient. All 11 cases returned to normal after 1 year. Conclusion:The main causes of iliopsoas muscle hematoma are coagulation dysfunction and trauma. The femoral nerve and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in the lumbar plexus are easily affected, which can cause lower limb sensory and motor disorders. As for iliopsoas muscle hematoma caused by coagulation abnormality, coagulation factors should be supplemented to correct coagulation function. As for iliopsoas muscle hematoma caused by trauma, early surgical treatment should be performed to relieve nerve compression. Timely treatment of iliopsoas muscle hematoma can generally acquire a good prognosis.
