✓ To the previously reported 28 cases of femoral neuropathy caused by a retroperitoneal hematoma in patients on anticoagulant drugs are added two cases in which the diagnosis was made by direct visualization of hematoma of the iliacus muscle by computerized tomography of the abdomen.

Iliopsoas hematoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of femoral neuropathy in patients who are on chronic warfarin therapy. It usually presents with groin or thigh pain, and in rare instances, large bleeding may cause hypovolaemic shock. Conservative management has a good clinical and neurological outcome in such cases.

ABSTRACT:Background:Traumatic retroperitoneal hematoma in the iliacus muscle is an unusual but potentially serious cause of femoral compression neuropathy.Case report:We describe the clinical, imaging, and management features of a case of traumatic iliacus retroperitoneal hematoma with delayed manifestation of femoral neuropathy.Discussion:The anatomical substrate for hematoma formation with subacute compression of the femoral nerve is emphasized. A subacute compartment syndrome with progressive edema, swelling and ischemia of iliacus compartment is suggested as the underlying cause. Early fasciotomy with or without hematoma evacuation should be considered in order to provide rapid decompression and to minimize the chance of permanent nerve injury.

Assay Methods

SummaryCoagulation serine proteases can be measured with either a chromogenic substrate assay or a clotting assay using deficient plasmas. It is a concern whether both assays give similar quantitative results, in particular in plasma obtained fiom patients on long term warfarin therapy. If these two assay methods were interchangeable, then the chromogenic substrate assay has the advantages of precision as well as laboratory automation. We used the intraclass correlation coefficient (r1) to assess the agreement between the two methods in measuring factor X and protein C levels in warfarinised plasma. The results indicate that the extent and pattern of agreement of the two methods for the measurement of the two variables in warfarinised plasma are poor, despite high Pearson product moment coefficients of correlation.
