Rectus sheath hematoma should be considered as a possible cause of severe abdominal pain in the presence of anticoagulant therapy and abdominal trauma. The unique anatomy of this area and its proximity to the peritoneum may mimic more serious abdominal pathology. Awareness of this pathological entity, which can readily be diagnosed with ultrasound, may eliminate the need for more costly or invasive diagnostic procedures.
