- Abstract
Spontaneous neck hematoma is a rare but life threatening condition which poses a challenge in clinical decision making. With the unsupervised outpatient use of oral anticoagulants, including newer generation ones and the thromboprophylaxis in Covid-19 treatment protocol, the risk of developing spontaneous neck hematoma is high. In this context, our case series aimed at studying the clinicopathological profile, treatment options and outcome in patients presented with spontaneous neck hematoma in a tertiary care center. A retrospective chart review was done between the years 2010–2021, and three cases of spontaneous neck hematoma associated with anticoagulation therapy were identified. Based on our experience, we recommend a custom tailored approach to management of spontaneous neck hematoma.
