Morel Lavalle lesion - A case series
Abstract
Morel Lavelle lesion is a condition discussed
less often in plastic surgery forums.
It occurs as a result of shearing
force separating skin and subcutaneous
tissue from the underlying fascia. The
presentation may be acute or chronic depending
on when it is recognized. We
present a series of 6 patients with varied
extent of involvement of the lesion.
