Abstract

Intramural duodenal hematoma (IDH) is a rare disease which defined a hematoma formation localized within the wall of the duodenum. The most common cause of IDH is due to blunt abdominal trauma while most of other cases of IDH are more related to the use of anticoagulants or coagulation disorders such as haemophilia and Von Willebrand disease. We report a very rare case of a large IDH caused by acute alcoholic pancreatitis without any kind of anticoagulation therapies nor coagulopathies. The patient was recovered by only medical treatment and observation without surgical intervention.
