Abstract

Hematomas in upper aerodigestive tract are not rare especially in patients with cardiologic conditions.Without comorbidities, it can also be seen after trauma cases. Sponatenous hematoma is a rare clinical condition that needs detailed evaluation especially for hematologic and immunologic disorders. We describe a case with spontaneus uvula hematoma. We describe a case with spontaneus uvula hematoma, without a history of trauma and anticoagulant therapy. We also discussed the management strategies. This patient with those findings, appears to be the firts case that was published in the English-language literature.
