Intramural gastric hematoma in the context of an acute pancreatitis

Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2017 Feb;109(2):170. doi: 10.17235/reed.2017.4494/2016.

Abstract

Bleeding complications are well known in the context of acute pancreatitis however, intramural hematomas of the superior gastrointestinal tract are rare. The treatment of choice, in absence of active bleeding or other complications, must be conservative, resulting in spontaneous resolution of the hematoma in most of the cases.
