Direct observation with double-balloon enteroscopy of an intestinal intramural hematoma resulting in anticoagulant ileus.
In the case presented here, we have succeeded in describing the endoscopic findings of anticoagulant ileus and evaluated the degree of bleeding as well as ischemia through endoscopic observation. We have demonstrated that enteroscopy using the double-balloon method is a useful diagnostic tool in the evaluation of a patient suspected to have anticoagulant ileus.
