[Evolution of post-traumatic hematoma of the liver monitored by ultrasonography].
The results of 20 months of follow-up of posttraumatic hepatic haematoma are presented. The haematoma developed as a result of blunt abdominal trauma and was diagnosed intraoperatively. Monitoring was based on ultrasonography. A significant change in the echographic pattern and size of the haematoma indicated its organization. The purpose of the study was calling attention to the ultrasonographic findings in hepatic haematoma in relation to the time after trauma. It is worth stressing that hepatic haematoma healed well although it had not been managed during the operation (even not drained).
