The hematoma may be caused by either rupture of the epigastric artery or by a muscular tear. Several factors have been identified as predisposing risks for rectus sheath hematoma, including coughing, straining, exercise, hypertension, obesity, previous abdominal surgery, subcutaneous injection, trauma and anticoagulant therapy.
If a mass in the abdominal wall does not cross midline and does not change with flexion of the rectus muscles, this is a positive sign for a rectus sheath hematoma. It is named for English obstetrician William Edward Fothergill , who described features of rectus sheath hematomas in a 1926 article in the British Medical Journal entitled ...
A positive test indicates the increased likelihood that the abdominal wall and not the abdominal cavity is the source of the pain (for example, due to rectus sheath hematoma instead of appendicitis). [ 3 ] [ 4 ] A negative Carnett's sign is said to occur when the abdominal pain decreases when the patient is asked to lift the head; this points ...
The rectus sheath (also called the rectus fascia [1]) is a tough fibrous compartment formed by the aponeuroses of the transverse abdominal muscle, and the internal and external oblique muscles. It contains the rectus abdominis and pyramidalis muscles, as well as vessels and nerves.
A rectus sheath hematoma is an accumulation of blood in the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. It causes abdominal pain with or without a mass. The hematoma may be caused by either rupture of the epigastric artery or by a muscular tear. Causes of this include anticoagulation, coughing, pregnancy, abdominal surgery and trauma. With an ageing ...

The arcuate line of rectus sheath (the arcuate line or the semicircular line of Douglas) is a line of demarcation [1] corresponding to the free inferior margin of the posterior layer of the rectus sheath [2] inferior to which only the anterior layer of the rectus sheath is present [3] and the rectus abdominis muscle is therefore in direct contact with the transversalis fascia.
