Abstract :A Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a closed soft-tissue degloving injury. Although it is mostly seen in the thigh, it can also occur in the gluteal, scapular, and lumbar regions. In trauma patients, especially with extremity injuries, focusing on fractures or other accompanying pathologies may distract the clinician from the diagnosis of MLL. Overlooking these lesions or delaying their diagnosis may lead to complications such as capsule formation, skin necrosis, or infection. We present two cases: a 17-year-old who had a motorcycle accident and a 12-year-old who had a deep laceration after a crush injury. We also present a review of MLL through these cases, drawing attention to it because it can be overlooked due to more prominent accompanying pathologies.
Keywords : Kapalı degloving yaralanması, hemolenfatik koleksiyon, travmatik yumuşak doku yaralanması
