Obstructive uropathy secondary to rectus sheath hematoma.

Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is uncommon and is often reported in the setting of anticoagulation or trauma. Typically RSH presents with localized or diffuse abdominal pain and a fixed abdominal wall mass, however, various presentations and complications have been reported depending on the setting and extent of the hematoma. We report a case of a rapidly expanding RSH causing obstructive anuria and hydronephrosis in addition to a review of literature on this rare presentation of RSH.
