Abstract

Abdominal rectus sheath hematoma is a rare illness, however it can be fatal. One of the most important predisposing factors is anticoagulant treatment. Anticoagulation treatment is an important part of the maintaining chronic hemodialysis procedures and the use of low molecular weight heparin has increased for this purpose in recent years. The rectus sheath hematoma induced by LMWH has been reported in acute coronary syndrome and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) cases. In the process of LMWH treatment, if the sudden onset of abdominal mass, abdominal pain and rapidly intensifying anemia occurs in the patients, rectus sheath hematoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis

Özet

Abdominal rektus kılıfı hematomu nadir görülmekle birlikte; fatal seyir gösterebilen bir klinikle karşımıza çıkabilir. En önemli predispozan faktörlerden birisi antikoagülan tedavidir. Antikoagülasyon tedavi, programlı hemodiyaliz prosedürlerinin sürdürülmesinin önemli bir parçası olup; son yıllarda düşük molekül ağırlıklı heparinin bu amaçlı kullanımı artmıştır. Düşük molekül ağırlıklı heparine bağlı rektus kılıfı hematomu, akut koroner sendrom ve derin ven tromboz olgularında bildirilmiştir. Düşük molekül ağırlıklı heparin tedavisi alırken karında ani gelişen kitle, karın ağrısı ve hızla derinleşen anemisi olan hastalarda, rektus kılıfı hematomu ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmelidir
