    Area of Science:

    • Medical Diagnostics
    • Radiology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Anticoagulant therapy is crucial for managing various thrombotic conditions.
    • Rectus sheath hematoma is a rare but potentially serious complication.
    • Understanding diagnostic modalities is essential for timely patient care.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of rectus sheath hematoma in patients receiving anticoagulant treatment were observed.
    • Clinical presentation included abdominal pain and a palpable mass.
    • Initial diagnostic considerations included other intra-abdominal pathologies.

    Findings:

    • Ultrasound imaging proved to be the definitive method for diagnosing rectus sheath hematoma.
    • The sonographic findings were characteristic of a hematoma within the rectus sheath.
