Abstract

Objective: Spontaneous intestinal intramural hematoma is a rare complication of anticoagulant treatment. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated 14 patients with the diagnosis of intramural hematoma of the small intestine who were followed-up and treated in our clinic, and we aimed to determine the diagnosis and treatment of intramural hematoma with current approaches. Material and Methods: Between February 2007-October 2012 14 patients with a diagnosis of small intestinal intramu- ral hematoma were retrospectively analyzed. Nine patients were followed due to clinical findings and 5 patients who had undergone operation of the small intestine and histopathologically diagnosed as intramural hematoma were evaluated in our department. Results: Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated ileal and jejunal wall thickening in 10 patients, while fin- dings were consistent with mesenteric vascular disease in four. Five patients were operated on due to mechanical bowel obstruction and acute abdomen. The other 9 patients were followed up with medical treatment and 8 of these patients were already using warfarin due to cardiac bypass and valve replacement. Conclusion: Spontaneous intestinal intramural hematoma is a cause of small bowel obstruction due to intramural he- matoma, which is encountered more rarely. Patients who presented with abdominal pain and symptoms of obstruction with a history of anticoagulant drug use and having elevated International Normalized Ratio (INR) levels, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intramural hematoma and investigated. Early diagnosis and medical follow- up without surgery is very important because it can provide a good response to treatment in the majority of patients.

Özet

Amaç: Spontan intestinal intramural hematom antikoagülan tedavinin nadir görülen bir komplikasyonudur. Bu ça- lışmada, kliniğimizde ince barsakta intramural hematom tanısıyla takip ve tedavi edilen 14 hasta retrospektif olarak incelenerek, intramural hematomun tanı ve tedavisindeki güncel yaklaşımların irdelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Şubat 2010-Ekim 2012 tarihleri arasında Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Genel Cerrahi Anabilim Dalı’nda ince barsak intramural hematomu tanılı 14 hastadan; klinik bulgular eşliğinde takip edilen 9 hasta ve operasyon uygulanarak peroperatif ve histopatolojik olarak ince barsak intramural hematomu tanısı alan 5 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Radyolojik olarak abdominal bilgisayarlı tomografide 10 hastada ileal ve jejunal anslarda duvar kalınlaş- ması, 4 hastada ise mezenter vasküler hastalık ile uyumlu bulgular olduğu rapor edildi. Beş hastaya mekanik barsak obstrüksiyonu ve akut karın nedeniyle operasyon uygulandı. Non-operatif takip edilen 9 hastadan 8’i kardiyak by- pass ve kapak replasmanı nedeniyle warfarin kullanmaktaydı. Sonuç: Spontan intestinal intramural hematom, antikoagülan tedavinin nadir bir komplikasyonu olup, intramural hematoma bağlı olarak gelişen ince barsak obstrüksiyonlarının daha da nadir olarak karşılaşılan bir nedenidir. Ka- rın ağrısı ve obstrüksiyon bulguları ile başvuran bir hastada antikoagülan kullanım öyküsü ile birlikte International Normalized Ratio (INR) uzaması saptanması durumunda mutlaka ayırıcı tanıda intramural hematom tanısı göz önünde bulundurulmalı ve araştırılmalıdır. Erken tanı ve medikal izlem hastaların çoğunda ameliyat gerektirmeden tedaviye iyi yanıt alınmasını sağlayabileceğinden çok önemlidir.
