Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is an uncommon condition characterized by blood accumulation within the rectus abdominis muscle sheath.
  • It can arise spontaneously or secondary to trauma, presenting as acute abdominal pain.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old female presented with severe abdominal pain following a coughing episode.
  • Initial imaging studies were crucial in identifying the underlying cause.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic imaging confirmed the presence of a rectus sheath hematoma.
  • RSH can result from muscular tears or epigastric artery rupture, mimicking other acute abdominal conditions.

Implications:

  • Accurate and timely diagnosis of RSH is essential for appropriate patient management.
  • Understanding the etiology and clinical presentation aids in differentiating RSH from other causes of acute abdominal pain.
