Abstract:
Spontaneous bleeding is a serious complication of anticoagulation that should be promptly recognized and treated. The clinical manifestations vary and are related to the site of the hemorrhage. CT, a simple and safe imaging modality, plays an important role in the accurate determination of the presence or absence of an anticoagulant-related bleed, its extent, and its precise location. This pictorial article reviews and demonstrates the CT findings of a variety of anticoagulant-related hematomas at various anatomical locations in the abdomen.
