Abstract
- Without traumatic history, spontaneous hemarthrosis of the knee is a relatively rare condition, and there is no report of the diagnosis and treatments in Korea. In this case, magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopic findings showed hemarthrosis and a lateral meniscus tear. Hemarthrosis of the patient remained after meniscus resection and coagulation; we then, found rupture of the lateral geniculate artery by computed tomography-angiography. We report on a case of successful treatment of spontaneous hemarthrosis with therapeutic embolization with a thorough review of the relevant literatures.
