²İstanbul Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi Kliniği, İstanbul, Türkiye Lumbar vertebrae transverse process fractures are generally considered minor injuries although they usually occur after relatively high energy traumas. It should not be forgotten that life-threatening injuries of intraabdominal organs, genitourinary system and the retroperitoneal region can accompany these fractures. Thus, we should evaluate a patient with lumbar vertebrae transverse process fracture as multiple trauma and we should be careful to request investigations and consultations related to accompanying injuries. Here, we present a case of psoas muscle hematoma that occurred after lumbar vertebrae 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 left transverse processes avulsion fractures. By means of this case report, we wish to emphasize the injuries accompanying lumbar vertebra transverse process fractures.
