ABSTRACT
The authors present a case of intramural hematoma of the small intestines during anticoagulant treatment. With reference to this case, they study the frequency, etiopathogenesis and anatomy of this hematoma and particularly look at the radiological manifestations. In this respect they distinguish three stages in the evolution. The first, when the straight X-ray of the abdomen and barium followthrough demonstrate an axial stenosis of the small intestines with dilation of the proximal loops; the second (between the 7th and 20th days) when the loop affected by the hematoma takes on a characteristic "palissade" or "spring" -like sausage appearance; finally the third (after the 3rd week), when only thickening of the haustrations persists with progressive return to normal. The radiological diagnosis is discussed, not only with intramural hematomas of the small intestines of other etiologies (traumatic, during pancreatitis, during disorders in hemostatis), but also with conditions giving rise to similar radiological pictures malabsorption, inflammatory conditions, etc.
