Management of Colonic Intramural Hematoma Complicated by Intestinal Obstruction in a Patient With Hemophilia: A Case Report and Literature Review

Colonic intramural hematoma is an exceptional complication of hemophilia. We report the case of an 18-year-old adolescent with severe hemophilia A who presented with a large colonic intramural hematoma complicated by intestinal obstruction following minor abdominal trauma. Conservative management, combining factor VIII replacement therapy, initial resuscitation, and bowel rest, resulted in a favorable outcome, with complete resolution of the hematoma and no need for surgical intervention. This case highlights the effectiveness of early medical management in this rare clinical situation.

Abstract

Colonic intramural hematoma is an exceptional complication of hemophilia. We report the case of an 18-year-old adolescent with severe hemophilia A who presented with a large colonic intramural hematoma complicated by intestinal obstruction following minor abdominal trauma. Conservative management, combining factor VIII replacement therapy, initial resuscitation, and bowel rest, resulted in a favorable outcome, with complete resolution of the hematoma and no need for surgical intervention. This case highlights the effectiveness of early medical management in this rare clinical situation.
