A 10-month-old girl experienced small-bowel obstruction due to an intraluminal hematoma in the terminal ileum. Surgical removal of the hematoma resolved the obstruction and rectal bleeding in this rare pediatric case.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Intraluminal hematomas are rare causes of small-bowel obstruction in infants.
  • Prompt diagnosis is crucial for effective management and preventing complications.

Observation:

  • A 10-month-old female presented with partial small-bowel obstruction and rectal bleeding.
  • Radiological imaging, including CT, barium enema, and ultrasound, identified an avascular mass in the terminal ileum.

Findings:

  • Exploratory laparotomy revealed a large intraluminal hematoma obstructing the terminal ileum.
  • The hematoma was successfully removed, alleviating the obstruction.

Implications:

  • This case highlights intraluminal hematoma as a treatable cause of pediatric small-bowel obstruction.
