Abstract

Abstract A spontaneous inferior epigastric artery rectus sheath hematoma is a rare condition where bleeding occurs within the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle, often due to damage to the inferior epigastric artery or its branches. We present an adult case of giant spontaneous left inferior epigastric artery rectus sheath hematoma with dramatic life-threatening acute abdominal emergency which was managed successfully by conservative management.
