Spontaneous Rectus Sheath Haematoma – “Less is More”
Journal Title: Journal of Surgery and Surgical Research - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Anterior rectus sheath haematoma is a rare condition that typically arises from rupture of the inferior epigastric artery in patients with coagulation disorder, on anticoagulation, or after abdominal trauma. We report an unusual case of spontaneous rupture of the superior epigastric artery following a violent paroxysm of coughing in a young adult with no known coagulopathy. This case highlights the importance of radiology in clinching the diagnosis and aiding in successful conservative management with complete resolution.
