FARIA, Juliano et al. Intramural duodenal hematoma as a complication of therapy with Warfarin: a case report and literature review. Radiol Bras [online]. 2004, vol.37, n.6, pp.461-463. ISSN 1678-7099.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-39842004000600016.

We report a case of a patient receiving chronic oral anticoagulant therapy with Warfarin who presented with acute intestinal obstruction. Computed tomography showed intramural duodenal hematoma. Treatment was conservative with correction of the coagulation parameters and observation. This case exemplifies the usefulness of conservative therapy and computed tomography in patients with acute small bowel obstruction receiving anticoagulant therapy.
