Fatal haemorrhage from a caput medusae: a differential to a stabbing.

Kent Y Hoi1, Emilio D Mignanelli, David Lightfoot.   

Abstract

Fatal haemorrhage from caput medusae is reported once previously in the literature. We report the case of a 48-year-old man who presented to the ED in hypovolaemic shock, with a suspected stab wound to the abdomen. He was subsequently found to have exsanguinated from a cutaneous varix secondary to chronic liver disease.
