https://doi.org/10.24835/1607-0771-2023-1-71-87
Abstract
A brief literature review presents the main classifications, clinical manifestations and methods of diagnosis of spontaneous retroperitoneal and rectus sheath hematomas in patients with COVID-19. The direct and indirect ultrasound criteria, stages of resolution and treatment strategy of the spontaneous hematomas are discussed
