Abstract
NOAC induced haematomas of the upper limb are rare and there is no real consensus on management. We present a case of a 70-year-old male on rivaroxaban who developed a delayed onset intramuscular forearm haematoma after a simple fall onto his left arm. Simple elevation of the limb was successful in leading to resolution of symptoms. As these agents increase in popularity, clinicians need to be more aware of potential risks of treatment and subsequent management.
