Abstract
Anticoagulation drugs are frequently used to prevent deep vein thrombosis in high-risk patients. Subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is increasingly used in both hospitalized patients and outpatient settings. This necessitates familiarity of both health care providers and patients with such treatment and vigilance on possible complications. Here we present a case of hematoma of rectus sheath that occurred following subcutaneous injection of enoxaparin and was successfully treated with conservative management.
