GUNDUZ, Suzan et al. Rectus sheath hematoma in a macrosomie neonate following difficult delivery: Case report. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2018, vol.116, n.1, pp.e82-e84. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2018.e82.
Macrosomia is a risk factor for birth injuries and is associated with neonatal morbidity and mortality. Cephalohematoma and clavicular fracture are the most frequent birth injuries. Intraabdominal injuries are uncommon birth injuries. Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is an accumulation of blood in the sheath of rectus abdominis muscle. It is associated with trauma, operations and anticoagulant therapy, especially in adults and elders. We present a macrosomic male neonate with difficult vaginal delivery, who had in the physical examination periumblical ecchymose of 1x1 cm and a parietal cephalohametoma of 1x1 cm. The abdominal ultrasonogram and the computed tomography scan of the abdomen showed a 7x4x2 cm right rectus sheath hematoma.
