ABSTRACT

Spontaneous mesenteric hematoma is a rare medical condition, usually associated with acute pathologies that often go unnoticed, with an incidence in patients between 8 and 60 years, peaking at 55–56 years, without gender predilection. It is associated with nonspecific clinical presentation such as diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, which vary depending on the location and extent of bleeding. All this makes it a difficult entity to diagnose, both clinically and radiologically. Due to its rarity, we decided to report this case, to be considered as a differential diagnosis in the presence of mesenteric lesions.
