dc.description.abstractA rectus sheath hematoma, which is mostly encountered due to abdominal traumas or anticoagulant use, can be challenging, and a delayed diagnosis may lead to hypovolemic shock and even death. In this study, we aimed to present the management of a case of rectus sheath hematoma that developed in a patient who was hospitalized and under coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treatment. A 70-year-old female patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to respiratory failure and developed a sudden onset of tachycardia and hypotension. The patient was then diagnosed with a rectus sheath hematoma and after ensuring hemodynamic stability she was treated with angiographic embolization. Following the treatment, the patient remained hemodynamically stable and a control computed tomography (CT) revealed regression in the hematoma. Rectus sheath hematomas especially accompanied by additional comorbidities or aggressive surgical interventions may result in high mortality rates in the early period. It should also be kept in mind that during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected the world in the last two years, rectus sheath hematomas may be the underlying cause of sudden hypotension and abdominal distension, and it should not be forgotten that angiographic embolization performed by experienced interventional radiologists is the mainstay of treatment in cases where hemodynamic stability can't be achieved.
