Common appearance of postoperative seroma detected six days after open ventral hernia repair (VHR) in a 51-year-old female. Unenhanced (a) and post-contrast (b) axial CT images showed a small-sized midline fluid-attenuating collection (+) containing tiny gas bubbles, interposed between the rectus muscles, abutting the PM-reinforced parietal peritoneum indicated by a linear structure isoattenuating to muscles (thin arrows). In the absence of clinical and laboratory signs of infection, thin peripheral contrast enhancement (arrows in b) was observed. The seroma eventually resolved without any additional treatment
