Abstract:
Rectus sheath hematoma, caused by rupture of epigastric vessel or muscle tear, is most frequently encountered in association with anticoagulation therapy, trauma, operation, and hematologic disorder. It rarely occurs spontaneously. Rectus sheath hematoma related to subcutaneous injection of insulin is very rare. We report a case of percutaneous catheterbased coil embolization for treatment of rectus sheath hematoma caused by subcutaneous injection of insulin on abdomen during anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy in an 83-year-old thin woman with diabetes.
