Nontraumatic intramural hematoma in the small bowel is uncommon, but has been reported to occur in the jejunum, ileum and duodenum in descending order of frequency (1). For diagnosis of this condition, endoscopy, computed tomography or ultrasonography are usually sufficient (1,2). Here we describe the endo- scopic and ultrasonographic findings of a patient who had intramural small bowel hematoma apparently caused by warfarin. |
