Spontaneous bleeding from the falciform ligament, a rare occurrence without clear local cause, is presented. This case review explores idiopathic spontaneous hemoperitoneum and its contributing factors.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Idiopathic spontaneous hemoperitoneum is a rare condition.
  • The falciform ligament is a peritoneal fold that attaches the liver to the anterior abdominal wall.

Observation:

  • A case of bleeding originating from the falciform ligament is described.
  • The bleeding occurred in the absence of obvious local pathology.

Findings:

  • This represents the first reported instance of spontaneous bleeding from the falciform ligament.
  • Review of previously described cases of idiopathic spontaneous hemoperitoneum and implicated etiological factors.

Implications:

  • Highlights the falciform ligament as a potential, previously unreported source of spontaneous intra-abdominal hemorrhage.
