Abstract
- Spontaneous hemorrhage in the patients undergoing hemodialysis is the ralatively common problem, but spontaneous mediastinal hemorrhage in such patients reported only few cases. We experienced a case of spontaneous mediastinal hemorrhage in chronic hemodialysis patient who complained of continuous pleuritic chest pain and mild dyspnea. The diagnosis was made dy chest computed tomography,magnetic resonance imaging and percutaneous fine needle aspiration of liquified dark reddish old blood material guided by ultrasonography. Treatment is usually conservative, with blood volume replacement and intensive hemodialysis using regional heparinization. We report on a patient undergoing hemodialysis due to endstage renal disease who developed spontaneous mediastinal hemorrhage.
