title: [Mesenteric hematoma: Unusual complication of a long term oral anticoagulation therapy].
abstract: Authors report a case of a 77 years old man who developed a small bowel mesenteric hematoma as consequence of an unusual complication from a long term oral anticoagulation treatment. Computed tomoangiography helpfully suggests diagnosis of a mesenteric hematoma and refuts an organic cause as vascular anomalies, by an equivalent method to conventional angiography, noninvasely. In our case report, patient's deterioration justified an emergency surgery corroborating medical imager findings. Authors review the rare cases previously reported.
