Abstract
Spontaneous intra-abdominal hemorrhage or abdominal apoplexy is an acute abdominal emergency which can exhibit a wide spectrum of clinical presentation. With the expanding avenues for anticoagulation therapy, this condition is becoming commoner. The association of this condition with antiplatelet therapy is less well established. We present a case of spontaneous mesenteric hematomas causing intestinal obstruction in a patient on antiplatelet therapy for ischemic heart disease. A review of etiology, clinical presentation and protocol of management is also presented. A high index of suspicion on the part of the clinician is essential to ensure a favorable outcome in this condition.
