Intraneural hematoma of the sciatic nerve. Case report.
A case of an encapsulated organizing hematoma of the sciatic nerve is reported. Hemorrhage-induced neuropathy as a complication of anticoagulant therapy, leukemia, hemophilia, and other bleeding diatheses has been frequently reported. While trauma is the most common etiology of a hemorrhagic neuropathy, actual hematoma formation beneath the epineurium is very rare.
