ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact on the healthcare systems. Along with its common complications, novel complications such as Rectus Sheath Hematoma (RSH) have been reported. We present 2 cases of RSH. (A) A 63-year-old woman with a known case of COVID-19 with severe cough presented sudden tachycardia and hypogastric pain; on physical examination, a huge lower abdominal tender mass was noticed. All the differential diagnoses were ruled out. (B) A 57-year-old woman with COVID-19 started complaining of tachycardia, pain, and a mass in the lower abdomen. On the physical examination, a lower abdominal tender mass was noticed. Both of the patients underwent an abdomen CT scan which confirmed a huge RSH. Conservative treatment and cessation of anticoagulant medications were continued. Both of them recovered and no evidence of further expansion was seen after 4 weeks of follow-up.
