The authors report on the case of a 69-year-old female who presented to the emergency department due to exquisite abdominal pain she described as occurring after she coughed. Imaging revealed a rectus sheath hematoma (RSH). A RSH is an uncommon but significant cause of acute abdominal pain that occurs when blood accumulates in the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. It can be caused by a muscular tear or a ruptured epigastric artery and can happen spontaneously or after trauma. The etiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management are discussed.
