Warfarin is an oral anticoagulant drug that prevents clotting, used in treating many diseases as well as prophylaxis. Despite its widespread use and efficacy, it may lead to a wide range of adverse effects, mainly bleeding, due to its quite narrow therapeutic index and interaction with other medications. Most commonly, it may result in epistaxis, hematuria and subcutaneous hemorrhage. In addition, it is likely to cause bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, soft tissues, and cerebral region. It is rare to develop intramural hematoma in the jejunum resulted from warfarin toxicity. Here, we present a case admitted to the emergency department with abdominal pain, and diagnosed with intramural hematoma after physical examination, laboratory findings and imaging. Emergency physicians should consider intestinal hematoma as differential diagnosis in patients using warfarin and presenting with abdominal pain.
