Morel-Lavallee lesions are posttraumatic soft tissue closed degloving injuries in which the subcutaneous tissue is torn away from the underlying fascia, creating a cavity filled with hematoma and liquefied fat. Morel-Lavallee syndrome or lesion was first described by a French surgeon, Victor Morel Lavallee, in 1863 [1]. It is also known as Morel-Lavallee seroma, post-traumatic soft tissue cyst, post-traumatic extravasations, or Morel-Lavallee effusion [2]. After the surgical procedure a pair of hip graduated compression stockings can prevent the relapses. |
