| Abstract: |
We describe an atypical pediatric case of immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV), also referred to as Henoch-Schönlein purpura, in which formation of spontaneous hematoma of the paraspinal muscles developed. Spontaneous or unprovoked hematomas rarely occur in IgAV. These manifestations have not been described specifically in the pediatric literature as coinciding with IgAV. These findings are alarming for nonaccidental trauma, particularly in a patient without underlying blood dyscrasia. Our objective for this report is to highlight the possible association of muscular hematoma formation with IgAV and to help providers consider this association when trauma and hemophilia has been ruled out.
