Abstract

|
Spontaneous intramural hematoma is a rare complication of oral anticoagulants, and its incidence is expected to increase because of the increasing number of elderly patients undergoing anticoagulant therapy. Clinical manifestations of spontaneous intramural hematoma vary from mild abdominal pain to intestinal obstruction or acute abdomen. Early diagnosis is important because most patients can be treated successfully without surgery. The role of endoscopy in the diagnosis of intramural hematoma is not well established because almost all cases are diagnosed non-invasively with computed tomography scans. However, confirmation of the intramural hematoma through direct visualization of the involved bowel mucosa is helpful, if the imaging diagnosis is uncertain. We report a case of anticoagulant-induced spontaneous intramural hematoma, which was diagnosed using endoscopy, with relevant literature review.
