Hernia Following Rectus Sheath Hematoma.

Rectus sheath hematomas (RSH) are increasing in prevalence, presumably correlating with increased use of anticoagulation medications and an aging population. Comorbidities such as blood dyscrasias, atherosclerosis, and hypertension are associated with an increased risk of developing an RSH. Iatrogenic origin of RSH, secondary to treatment of various abdominal pathologies, is not uncommon.
