| الوصف: | Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain associated with several risk factors including trauma, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pregnancy, and anticoagulation as it can be iatrogenic. Dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), combined usage of a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor and aspirin, is a cornerstone treatment for patients with acute coronary syndromes. Ticagrelor is a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor with several adverse hemorrhagic complications. An 86-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass at the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. His medical history revealed coronary artery disease with medications including acetylsalicylic acid and ticagrelor. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed RSH. The patient was treated conservatively with bed rest and analgesia. DAPT is an essential component of the management of acute coronary syndromes to prevent recurrent cardiac thrombotic events. However, hemorrhagic complications such as RSH may be encountered with DAPT. Emergency medicine physicians and cardiologists should keep in mind RSH in patients presenting with abdominal pain and using DAPT with ticagrelor. |
