Abstract:
Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is an uncommon condition caused by hemorrhage into the rectus sheath. RSH is characterized by abdominal pain and an abdominal mass. This condition is associated with old age, childbirth, abdominal surgery, severe coughing, severe sneezing, anticoagulation therapy, and/or coagulation disorders. We report herein a case of RSH and pelvic cavity hematoma that was induced by dalteparin injection in a 77-year-old woman with pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, and who was successfully treated by conservative management.
