Other risk factors include hemophilia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, chemotherapy, vasculitis, pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. The presentation of patients is usually with abdominal pain, nause and vomiting. The patients who were admitted to the emergency clinic with acute abdominal pain and had a history of anticoagulant use with prolonged international normalized ratios should alert to search for intraabdominal hematoma.
