Spontaneous Prepatellar Bursa Hematoma in a Patient with Mechanical Prosthetic Heart Valve
Abstract
Prepatellar bursa hematoma is
generally caused by direct trauma to the anterior aspect of the knee, resulting
in extravasation of blood into a normal bursa. Spontaneous prepatellar bursa
hematoma is an unusual entity. Prepatellar bursitis and septic bursitis are the
other common causes of a swollen patellar bursa. Bleeding has been recognized
as the major complication that limits anticoagulant treatment in patients with
prosthetic mitral valve. Here, we present a case of spontaneous prepatellar
bursa hematoma in a patient with prosthetic heart valve under warfarin sodium
therapy.
