Abstract
- Rectus sheath hematoma is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen, caused by a tear in deep epigastric vessels or its branches. It occurs spontaneously, after trauma or surgery. Rectus abdominus myonecrosis is a life threatening complication of rectus sheath hematoma. We report a case with fatal rectus sheath hematoma complicated by rectus abdominus myonecrosis caused by ischial fracture in a chronic active rheumatoid arthritis patient.
