Abstract:
An intramural hematoma of the stomach usually results from trauma. Gastric intramural hematomas may also occur in patients with bleeding disorders who are receiving anticoagulation therapy or after an endoscopic procedure. Here, we describe a case of a gastric intramural hematoma after endoscopic hemostasis for gastric ulcer bleeding in a patient medicated with aspirin.
