Abstract

Gastrointestinal bleeding is a well known event in patients suffering from blood dyscrasias. In contrast spontaneous nontraumatic hematoma of the bowel is a rare complication, requiring a different therapeutic management, which depends on localization and extent of the hematoma. We report about two hemophiliac patients presenting with acute abdominal pain caused by spontaneous intramural hematomas.
