Small intestine hematoma after bicycle accident

Abstract

Blunt abdominal trauma can result in intestinal hematomas, most commonly affecting the duodenum, and presenting with a wide range of clinical manifestations—intestinal obstruction being the most frequent. This case report describes a jejunal hematoma following trauma, presenting atypically as gastrointestinal bleeding. The report also underscores the diagnostic value of video capsule endoscopy in identifying this type of pathology.

Keywords: jejunal hematoma, video capsule endoscopy, rectal bleeding.
