Abstract
An 84-years old woman, medicated with acenocumarol, was admitted to the Emergency Room with lower abdominal pain and nauseas and no history of trauma. She was medicated with acenocumarol and had a non-measurable international normalized ratio. The findings of the bowel ultrasound, ileocolonoscopy and biopsies specimens were suggestive of intramural bleeding of the ileum, ileocecal valve and cecum. Spontaneous intramural bleeding of the gastrointestinal wall associated with oral anticoagulation is rare.
