Small bowel infarction complicating rectus sheath haematoma in an anticoagulated patient.
BACKGROUND: A rectus sheath haematoma is a difficult condition to diagnose and is usually treated by conservative measures. However, significant sized haematomas can result in severe haemodynamic repercussions, especially in those patients with co-morbidities and anticoagulation. CASE REPORT: The case reported here is of a 68 year old anticoagulated patient with severe medical co-morbidity who presented with abdominal pain and hypotension. An abdominal CT scan demonstrated a large rectus sheath haematoma and small bowel infarction. The relationship between these two separate causes of an acute abdomen is discussed and imaging findings are illustrated. CONCLUSIONS: A careful history and a high index of suspicion are necessary to diagnose a rectus sheath haematoma. Further imaging such as CT may be required and if diagnosed early enough, it should be treated aggressively based on the clinical findings.
