Summary

Spontaneous abdominal muscular hematomas are rare and typically do not cause urinary issues. This case highlights a rare instance where such a hematoma led to ureteral compression and significant urinary obstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Abdominal Imaging
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Muscular hematomas of the abdominal rectus muscles are uncommon, with retroperitoneal extension being a rare complication.
  • Urinary tract compression by abdominal hematomas is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A case of spontaneous rectus abdominis muscle hematoma is presented.
  • The hematoma extended and caused significant compression of the urinary tract.

Findings:

  • The patient presented with oligoanuria (reduced urine output) and bilateral ureterohydronephrosis (swelling of the ureters and kidneys).
  • This urologic damage was directly attributed to ureteral compression by the abdominal hematoma.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for abdominal muscular hematomas to cause severe urologic complications, including acute kidney injury.
