Abstract
Spontaneous hematoma of transverse mesocolon is a rare complication of anticoagulant treatment with vitamin K. We report the case of spontaneous hematoma of right angle of the transverse mesocolon associated with a hemoperitoneum in a 32-year-old patient treated by fluindione for pulmonary embolism. The diagnosis must be made urgently. The abdominal ultrasound and the scanning confirm the diagnosis. It is important to note that surgery is indicated only in the case of complications such as the risk of rupture of the hematoma.Entities:
