Popis: The haemoperitoneum and bowel haematoma are complications of the oral anticoagulant treatment. The abdominal pain in patient under oral anticoagulant drugs represents a diagnostic problem; apart of the acute abdomen, we also have to consider unusual haemorrhagic lesion, rare in patients without coagulation problems. The early diagnosis of the complication in the patients permits a conservative treatment with excellent prognosis, instead of performing surgical operations in subjects with frequent comorbidities. We report a case of haemoperitoneum and intramural bowel haematoma in a patient with altered laboratory parameters and haemodynamic instability that required an urgent surgical procedure.
