	Haematoma - Haematoma symptom, treatment, causes
		Haematoma can be defined as the localised collection of blood that has leaked into the tissues from ruptured blood vessels, usually as a result of injury.
		Many haematomas disappear spontaneously, but those that are large or cause pain or symptoms due to pressure on nearby tissues may need surgical drainage.
		The main concern when a haematoma develops is that infection may develop (blood is a perfect medium for infections) and that the wound may open up.

	Medcyclopaedia - Haematoma
		A haematoma is the inevitable consequence of the rupture of a blood vessel, either artery, vein or capillary.
		While an acute haematoma may produce a space-occupying effect owing to its size, and subsequent peripheral oedema, chronic haematoma is usually a smaller posthaemorrhagic porencephalic cavity, possibly associated with atrophic dilatation of the adjacent ventricle or subarachnoid space.
		The MR appearance of a haematoma at different stages is less straightforward and varies according to physical parameters of the machine and the sequences employed and to the intrinsic composition of the haematoma itself, mainly concerning oxidation states of haemoglobin and macroscopic structure of the clot (protein concentration, clot hydration, red blood cell morphology).

	Aural Haematoma
		An aural (ear) haematoma is a collection of blood or serum, and sometimes a blood clot within the pinna or ear flap.
		Small haematomas can be treated by aspirating the fluid via needle and syringe whilst the pet is under sedation, (it is often possible to do the procedure conscious in cooperative animals).
		If a haematoma is left untreated the blood in the ear flap will separate into serum and a clot and will gradually be absorbed over a period of 10 days to 6 weeks. Unfortunately some scarring takes place during this process and causes deformity of the ear flap resulting in a "cauliflower ear".

	Non-surgical approach to delayed expansion of traumatic intramural duodenal haematoma
		Intramural haematoma of the alimentary tract is mainly caused by blunt abdominal injuries in childhood.
		The haematoma may increase in size over time because of either continuous bleeding or the breakdown of haemoglobin, causing an increase in the oncotic pressure in the haematoma with subsequent increase in volume.
		Haematoma should be suspected in the differential diagnosis if a mass is seen in the duodenum, especially in the setting of recent trauma with non-specific abdominal complaints and vomiting as illustrated by this case.

		Haematomas can develop along the vaginal vault, along the pelvic side wall, in the paravesical space, in the abdominal wall, in the ischiorectal fossa and vulva.
		In a study by Thomson AJ et al 1998[1], incidence of febrile morbidity was 31% in patients with vaginal vault haematomas.

		Evacuation of the haematoma using a formal liposuction apparatus has been described in lectures for different anatomical positions of haematomas [1-3] and the technique usually requires hospitalisation of the patient.

		As a subdural haematoma increases in size, it begins to compress the brain, and causes intracranial pressure.
		The brain swells under the pressure of the blood clot, and is squeezed against the unyielding walls of the skull.
		Subdural haematomas can develop suddenly from a head injury that causes a large amount of blood to escape rapidly from a torn vein.

		At emergency craniotomy extensive subdural haematoma was found and evacuated and a bleeding cortical artery in the sylvian fissure coagulated.
		Although subdural haematoma is usually of venous origin, it is known that it can sometimes result from arterial rupture occurring in association with an aneurysmal or arteriovenous malformation (1,6), neoplastic lesions on the dura (8), infection, vitamin C deficiency, alcohol abuse and coagulopathy (3).

		The points of attachment of the dura limit the extension of this haematoma anteriorly and posteriorly.

	Haematoma - ThePigSite.com
		(266) A haematoma is a pocket of blood that forms beneath the skin or in muscle tissue and is associated with a ruptured blood vessel.
		Once sufficient pressure has built up in the tissues the haemorrhage stops and a clot is formed which is gradually removed by the normal body repair mechanisms and the swelling disappears.
		If blood is withdrawn the haematoma is of recent origin and if serum is present it is long standing.

	Subdural haematomas
		A subdural haematoma is a blood clot which forms underneath one of the protective layers that cover the brain, known as the dura mater.
		This type of bleed is usually caused by trauma such as a fall, an assault or a road accident.
		The symptoms of a subdural haematoma depend on the severity of the bleed, but can range from a headache to death.

		An epidural haematoma occurs when there is a tear in a vascular structure, usually arterial, in the potential space between the dura and the skull.
		The haematoma strips the dura off the skull vault and appears on CT as a biconvex lesion.
		The presence of a subdural haematoma is an indication of underlying brain injury, and acute subdurals are associated with a worse outcome than epidural haematomas.

	Trephine Craniotomy and Cisternal Drainage for Chronic Subdural Haematomas: Preliminary report
		Nine cases of chronic subdural haematoma were operated performing a small trephine craniotomy,membranectomy and cisternal drainage,with excellent outcome.
		For temporal and subtemporal base of the brain haematomas we use a “Tic” craniotomy of Drake with a linear incision in front of the tragus.
		Therefore, haematoma itself is the promoter for its chronicity, and removal of haematoma fluid should suffice as the primary goal of surgery.

		Acute extradural and acute subdural haematomas are the only two conditions that may benefit from burr holes.

		If no haematoma is found, create a burr hole on the opposite side to exclude contra coup bleeding.

	Diagnosis of aortic intramural haematoma -- Song 90 (4): 368 -- Heart
		If aortic intramural haematoma develops in an aortic segment with aneurysmal changes, the inner margin is relatively smooth (B), and usually follow up imaging within several weeks shows changes of aortic thickening, which is quite unusual in mural thrombi.
		In this case, mural haematoma resolved almost completely with a notable increase of the aortic diameter (C).
		The case presented in panels A and B shows a dramatic decrease of the haematoma within seven hours, whereas the case presented in panels C and D shows development of typical aortic dissection within 12 hours after pain onset.
