title: [The so-called spontaneous hematoma of the anterior rectus abdominis reproducing syndromes of acute surgical abdomen].
abstract: Personal experience of spontaneous haematoma on the anterior straight muscles of the abdomen over 15 years is reported. True spontaneous haematoma on the anterior straight muscles of the abdomen are extremely rare, even exceptional and must be distinguished from those haematomas, improperly called spontaneous that are, in fact, clearly traumatic in origin. Personal observation suggests that true spontaneous haematoma is the expression of a pathological rupture of the muscle and/or the epigastric blood vessels that in its turn reflects a serious basic pathology.
