Spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma complicated by deep venous thrombosis: A case report

20241 citationOpen accessUniversity of Nairobi

Abstract

Although rare, RSH is a potential cause of acute abdomen, particularly among patients on anticoagulation, and can be life-threatening. A high index of suspicion is therefore important for early diagnosis. Clinicians should also appreciate the heightened risk of DVT in the immediate postoperative period despite mechanical anticoagulation.
