A Retroperitoneal Hematoma in an Anticoagulated Patient

Aim Spontaneous retroperitoneal haemorrhage (SRH), a potentially fatal complication with an atypical presentation, is caused by anticoagulants. The present body of literature does not offer much guidance for diagnosing and treating these situations. This case report’s major goal is to give a general review of the condition’s clinical presentation and anticoagulant therapy in relation to spontaneous retroperitoneal haemorrhage. Case report In this case report, we have covered an instance of retroperitoneal bleeding brought on by anticoagulants. Due to abdominal pain, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen was performed on the patient, who was using an anticoagulant, and it diagnosed a retroperitoneal hematoma. Conclusion Spontaneous retroperitoneal bleeding is an uncommon occurrence. When patients taking anticoagulant medications appear with stomach pain and distension, retroperitoneal haemorrhage should always be considered a possibility. With this presentation, this is one such instance. An early diagnosis will aid in the proper treatment of the patient.
