A Case of Spontaneous Multiple Abdominal Wall Hematomas in a COVID-19 Patient

Abstract

Despite being relatively uncommon, abdominal wall hematomas can occur due to blunt trauma, postpercutaneous procedures, anticoagulation, and even spontaneous bleeding. It can present with varying symptoms from acute abdominal pain to life-threatening bleeding causing hypovolemia and shock. With the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, affected patients developed coagulopathy putting patients at risk of venous thromboembolism or excessive bleeding. Herein, we report a case of spontaneous multiple abdominal wall hematomas in a patient after a COVID-19 infection, which was managed conservatively.
