Abstract

Rectus sheath haematoma (RSH) is an uncommon but well-described clinical entity. It is defined as an accumulation of blood in the sheath of the anterior rectus muscles. The functional characteristics of the rectus abdominis muscle are such that the commonest site for a haematoma is in the lower abdomen.
