[Intramural hematoma of the duodenum following acute pancreatitis. X-ray computed tomographic aspect of a case]

Intramural hematomas of the duodenum in adults most often have a traumatic cause, but they may also be a complication of acute alcoholic pancreatitis. The diagnosis is based on the CT appearance. Treatment is usually medical. Surgery is necessary in case of recurrence or of a major hemorrhagic syndrome.
