Is Surgery Recommended For A Deep Tissue Hematoma Post Accident?
In August, my friend was involved in an auto accident. She sustained a deep tissue hematoma that failed to resolve. Doctors have tried draining, but this has not reduced the area. She was informed of a possible need for surgery, and that this syndrome could be life-threatening if not treated. Is there a syndrome that describes this condition?

such kind of unresolved hematomas can lead to cellulitis and pressure symptoms on the surrounding soft tissue structures.
there is no such syndrome to describe this kind of unresolved hematomas.
CT guided aspiration and drainage is recommended follwed by histopathology study of the lesion.
I hope your query has been answered.
