Sequential bilateral rectus sheath hematoma after anticoagulation

ABSTRACT

Bilateral rectus sheath hematoma [RSH] is extremely rare. Its causes are similar to those of unilateral RSH. However, its clinical manifestation is more serious, usually requiring surgical or endovascular intervention. We report a case of sequential bilateral RSH that was treated successfully. Reinitiating anticoagulation after RSH should be done cautiously, with consideration for the risks and benefits
