ABSTRACT
Our case highlights a patient with spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma without clear cause in the setting of myasthenic crisis. While myasthenia gravis (MG) has been reported in the literature to be associated with vascular pathology such as polyarteritis nodosa, its association with coagulopathy and spontaneous major bleed is currently unclear. The patient in this case developed a sudden unprovoked iliopsoas hematoma while in the ICU for the management of newly diagnosed MG. Acute anemia was the only clinical sign which was later confirmed by imaging findings.
