Abstract:
This report illustrates the case of a 79-year-old woman in whom a severe type of rectus sheath hematoma was found during conservative therapy for myocardial infarction. Although establishing a correct diagnosis and initiating conservative therapy is usually considered the most appropriate management of this clinical entity, the rectus sheath hematoma in this patient required surgical treatment.
