Surgically treated rare intestinal bleeding due to submucosal hematoma in a patient on oral anticoagulant therapy: A case report
This report presents the case of a 70-year-old woman with acute hematochezia induced by AT. She underwent computed tomography and endoscopy.
Diagnoses:
Colon submucosal hematoma.
Interventions:
Conservative treatment had no effect, and the patient underwent emergency surgery.
Outcomes:
Surgical resection showed hemorrhage and necrosis in the left colon, and the patient recovered 24 hours after surgery and continued AT.
Lessons:
The present case indicates that the ISH should be kept in mind as a complication of AT. It can be managed conservatively in some stable patients, but emergency surgery may be needed in some serious situations.
