RESUMO
Resumen El uso de tromboprofilaxis posterior a las cirugías cervicales es una práctica recomendada a nivel mundial debido a que este tipo de pacientes presentan un mayor riesgo de desarrollar tromboembolismos venoso. Dentro de los efectos adversos de esta terapia se ha descrito la epistaxis, hematuria, formación de hematomas y sangrados. El hematoma espontáneo del músculo psoas iliaco, se considera una entidad poco frecuente, que suele asociarse a alteraciones de la coagulación, hemofilia o discrasias sanguíneas y como terapia anticoagulante, siendo este último la principal causa. En la autopsia médico legal, el hematoma del músculo psoas iliaco, suele ser un hallazgo incidental y en la mayoría de casos no contribuye en la causa de muerte. En el presente artículo se expone el caso de un masculino conocido con una enfermedad renal crónica, el cual desarrolló un hematoma espontáneo del músculo psoas iliaco, secundario al uso de enoxaparina como tromboprofilaxis posterior a una intervención quirúrgica en el cuello, que lo condujo a un shock mixto ocasionándole la muerte.
Abstract The use of thromboprophylaxis after cervical surgeries is a recommended practice worldwide due to the fact that these types of patients have a higher risk of developing venous thromboembolisms. Among the adverse effects of this therapy it has been described epistaxis, hematuria, formation of hematomas and bleeding. Spontaneous hematoma of the iliac psoas muscle is considered a rare entity, which is usually associated with coagulation disorders, hemophilia or blood dyscrasias and anticoagulant therapy, the latter being the main cause. In the medico-legal autopsy, the hematoma of the iliopsoas muscle is usually an incidental finding and in most cases does not contribute to the cause of death. This article describes the case of a male known with chronic kidney disease, who developed a spontaneous hematoma of the iliac psoas muscle, secondary to the use of enoxaparin as thromboprophylaxis after a surgical intervention in the neck, which led to a mixed shock causing death.

Resumen Presentamos el caso de un varón de 86 años con un hematoma espontáneo en el músculo ilíaco izquierdo y diagnóstico previo de cáncer de colon en 1998 (estadio pT3N0M0), tratado quirúrgicamente mediante colectomía transversal, considerado en remisión completa. Tras realización de estudios complementarios se demostró la presencia de autoanticuerpos inhibidores del Factor VIII que confirmaron el diagnóstico de hemofilia adquirida. Durante el ingreso el paciente presentó un sangrado digestivo bajo que conllevó al descubrimiento de recidiva del adenocarcinoma colorrectal tratado previamente. Respondió de forma favorable a la terapia inicial con corticoides sistémicos y el complejo coagulante anti inhibidor que incluye el Factor VII activado [FEIBA].
Abstract We report the case of an 86-year-old man presenting with a spontaneous hematoma in the left iliac muscle and previous diagnosis of colon cancer in 1998 (stage pT3N0M0) treated with transverse colectomy and considered in complete remission. After a complete study, it was possible to identify the presence of Factor VIII inhibitors antibodies that confirmed the presence of acquired hemophilia. During hospitalization the patient presented a lower gastrointestinal bleeding leading to the diagnosis of recurrence of a previously treated colorectal adenocarcinoma. He responded to initial therapy with systemic corticoids and anti-inhibitory coagulant complex which includes activated VII Factor [FEIBA].

Spontaneous muscular hematomas are quite rare as they occur mush less frequently than intracranial hematomas and gastrointestinal bleeding in patients under oral anticoagulant therapy. Coumarins, such as warfarin or acitrom, are the most widely prescribed oral anticoagulants agents and have been associated more with the development of hematomas than direct factor X inhibitors, such as rivaroxaban [ 1]. Few reports have linked oral anticoagulation therapy with the development of muscular hematomas; however, clinical cases regarding the involvement of the sartorius muscle remain limited. Patients with advanced age, under oral anticoagulant therapy with pain and ecchymosis in the thigh region, should undergo radiological evaluation utilizing ultrasonography, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging to establish an accurate diagnosis. The following case consists of a patient that while resting presented with a spontaneous rupture and hematoma of the sartorius muscle secondary to rivaroxaban use. During follow-up, the patient recovered completely.
RESUMO
El hematoma espontáneo del esófago es una manifestación poco frecuente de lesión esofágica. El dolor torácico, la disfagia y la hematemesis son los síntomas más comunes de presentación, los cuales se resuelven espontáneamente en la mayoría de los casos. El conocimiento de esta patología es importante para un manejo adecuado y evitar así las intervenciones quirúrgicas y tratamientos innecesarios.
Spontaneous intramural hematoma of the esophagus constitutes a rare spectrum of esophageal injuries. Chest pain, difficulty swallowing and hematemesis are the most common symptoms. They resolve spontaneously in most cases. Awareness of this condition is a vital guide for following up these cases and for avoiding inappropriate treatment and unnecessary surgical intervention. We report the case of a patient who presented with chest pain and hematemesis.
