Abstract

A series of events following Rectus Abdominis muscle haematoma presenting as an anterior abdominal wall abscess is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. The common causes include Trauma, Anticoagulation therapy, Coagulopathies, Previous surgeries, and subcutaneous injections. The occurrence of rectus sheath haematoma is a rare entity in males. Investigations of choice are USG abdomen and CT abdomen, where the latter is a confirmative investigation compared to former. Though it is a rare condition, failure to diagnosis can result in unnecessary diagnostic procedure and iatrogenic events.
