title: [A case of rectus sheath hematoma].
abstract: The following is a rare case of rectus sheath hematoma. The patient was a 78-year-old man with a past history of axillo-femoral bypass operation. He contracted a cold, and when he coughed severely, acute lower abdominal pain occurred. Abdominal echography and CT scanning confirmed the presence of a hematoma in the rectus abdominis muscle. Before, patient was diagnosed as acute abdomen and surgery was performed. Recently, accurate diagnosis has been made easily by echography or CT.
