Morel-Lavallée Lesion: A not so rare, but often missed diagnosis KTM Opdam R van de CoeveringI van der Haven<p>The Morel-Lavallée lesion is a closed, post-traumatic, soft tissue degloving injury. There is separation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue from the underlying fascia resulting in an effusion and creation of a perifascial space often containing lymph and necrotic fat.</p><p>We present a case of a 70-year-old female that was referred to us with a painful right thigh after a fall from her bike. Ultrasound showed a persistent MLL and an ultrasound-guided injection with cortisone wasinjected the MLL, which resolved the patient’s complaints.</p><p><strong>Level of evidence:</strong> Level 4.</p> Open Journal of Trauma - Peertechz Publications 2017-08-02 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/ojt.000012 en Copyright © KTM Opdam et al.
