Spontaneous Bleeding from a Short Gastric Artery after Vomiting Successfully Treated without Surgery.
Korean Journal of Gastroenterology = Taehan Sohwagi Hakhoe Chi 2016 September 26
Spontaneous bleeding from a short gastric artery in the absence of pre-disposing trauma is reported very rarely. To the best of our knowledge, the published literature includes only 14 cases. Young men comprise almost all of the patients, and were induced by vomiting or gagging. The patients usually required emergent surgery. Our patient, a 32-year-old man, was diagnosed with spontaneous hemoperitoneum due to short gastric artery tearing after a few instances of vomiting. We managed him conservatively including fluid, vitamin K and antifibrinolytic agent without surgery.
