Hematoma gigante coagulado del gastrocnemio medial de localización atípica. Tratamiento con fibrinolíticos en el drenaje ecoguiado: a propósito de un caso / Giant coagulated hematoma of the medial gastrocnemius of atypical location. Treatment with fibrinolytics in ultrasound-guided drainage: a case report

A propósito de un paciente de 57 años con rotura de gastrocnemio medial y hematoma gigante coagulado de localización atípica, se revisan las consideraciones epidemiológicas, las pruebas de diagnóstico a realizar y el tratamiento utilizado (drenaje del hematoma mediante punciones seriadas ecoguiadas con la utilización de urocinasa intracavitaria), además de describir su evolución clínica.(AU)
