Low-molecular-weight heparin, including enoxaparin, has efficacy comparable to that of unfractionated heparin and is considered the first-line option for thromboprophylaxis due to a decreased risk profile. This paper presents a rare case of epigastric artery rectus sheath hematoma following enoxaparin injection, resulting in multiorgan failure secondary to hemorrhagic shock. Discussion of this case may assist clinicians in the recognition and treatment of similar cases.

A 50-year-old woman with a history of adult granulosa cell tumor (AGCT) of the right ovary was under follow-up after undergoing several surgeries, including a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. She was initially diagnosed eight years ago and remained disease-free for 52 months. However, she later experienced a recurrence, indicated by elevated inhibin B levels (58 ng/mL) and the presence of peritoneal soft tissue tumors.

The today well accepted intrapelvic approach for acetabular and pelvic ring injury fixation was first described by Hirvensalo and Lindahl in 1993 followed by a more detailed description by Cole and Bolhofner in 1994. Compared to the well-known ilioinguinal approach, described by Letournel, this approach allows an intrapelvic view to the medial acetabulum, while using the ilioinguinal approach a more superior, extrapelvic view, is dissected to the area of the acetabulum. Several names have been used to describe the new intrapelvic approach with increasing usage, mainly ilio-anterior approach, extended Pfannenstiel approach, Stoppa-approach, Rives-Stoppa approach, modified Stoppa approach and recently anterior intrapelvic approach.

Background: Spontaneous intramuscular haematomas by definition are haematomas without known etiology and exclude those caused by trauma, surgery, and muscular disease. This is a rare condition which has been increasing in incidence lately largely due to anticoagulant therapy use and currently, there is no level 1 evidence with regards to the best management of these patients, with different institutions using different approaches to treatment.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 31 patients who were treated with the diagnosis of spontaneous intramuscular haematoma in our center, in the years between 2013 and 2017.
