Mysterious Pelvic Hematoma in a Patient Who Speaks a Rare Ethiopian Dialect: A Case Report

“…5 Approximately 76-79% of cases were found to be associated with DVT and mechanical obstruction syndromes such as May-Thurner Syndrome. 6 Other contributing factors include venous wall inflammation (due to multiple processes) and increases in intra-abdominal pressure (such as during the Valsalva maneuver). Once ruptured, the resultant hematoma may become large enough to tamponade the vessel, which may temporize blood loss.…”

Spontaneous iliac vein rupture showed by femoral contrast bolus: A case report

“…Spontaneous iliac vein rupture (SIVR) is a rare disease associated with high mortality. Until now, less than 60 cases having been reported in literature since the first reported case in the 1960′s [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] . Most of the cases are concerned of the left iliac femoral vein system and occur mainly in women [5] .…”

Spontaneous Left External Iliac Vein Rupture

“…Spontaneous rupture of the iliac vein is a very rare pathology in practice. The literature cited 53 cases until 2021, of which 14 resulted in the death of patients, with a mortality of 26.4% [ 1 ]. It seems that this pathology is much more common in women aged 41–83 years with an average of 63 years [ 1 ].…”

“…The literature cited 53 cases until 2021, of which 14 resulted in the death of patients, with a mortality of 26.4% [ 1 ]. It seems that this pathology is much more common in women aged 41–83 years with an average of 63 years [ 1 ]. Jiang published an article in 2010 that included nine cases of spontaneous rupture of the iliac vein, with eight patients being female [ 2 ].…”

“…The patient is female, and the symptoms appeared after a physical effort to climb some steps. In terms of age, it was at the upper end of the range found in the literature [ 1 ]. Although it is assumed that in 1/3 of cases of spontaneous rupture of the iliac vein, the May-Thurner syndrome is present, which would explain the location on the left side of the lesion, this pathology could not be documented in the present situation [ 11 ].…”
