Abstract
Spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma occurs commonly in patients with coagulation disorder or as a complication of anticoagulant therapy. Glanzmann's thrombasthenia (GT) usually presents with mucocutaneous bleed, menorrhagia, hematoma/hemarthrosis and, rarely, as visceral hematoma. We report a case of spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma as an emergency in a patient of GT, a very rare presentation. In this case, a 14-year-old girl presented with acute pain abdomen and a palpable mass at the left lower abdomen. She was investigated and was found to have GT, which presented as rectus sheath hematoma.
