Intra-abdominal hemorrhage in the newborn is uncommon, but it must be considered in the first 48 hours of life in the infant with pallor, anemia, abdominal distension, and shock. The injured liver is the most common source of bleeding, with the spleen and kidney less often involved. In the case presented, the hallmarks of intra-abdominal hemorrhage were evident. Exploratory laparotomy revealed intraperitoneal bleeding emanating from the disruption of the umbilical vein and its enveloping falciform ligament. There was no other site of intra-abdominal bleeding and there were no intrinsic abnormalities of the umbilical cord or the placenta. Disruption of the intra-abdominal umbilical vein represented the sole source of intra-abdominal bleeding in this patient. The case is reported to document disruption of the intra-abdominal umbilical vein as a rare cause of neonatal hemoperitoneum.

Intra-abdominal hemorrhage from ruptured varices is an unusual, life-threatening complication of portal hypertension. We present the case of a 58-year-old man with alcoholic cirrhosis who presented with increasing abdominal girth, hypovolemic shock, and profound anemia due to rupture of a retroperitoneal varix into the peritoneal cavity. The clinical presentation of this rare problem is remarkably consistent among published reports. Early recognition may help the treating physician reduce the likelihood of a catastrophic outcome.

Intra-abdominal hemorrhage caused by omental artery rupture is a rare condition. There are few reports on the treatment of omental artery rupture with only transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). A 27-year-old man presented to our emergency room with upper abdominal pain that suddenly occurred during sleep. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed fluid collection in the peritoneal cavity and a left subphrenic hematoma with extravasation. Celiac angiography revealed extravasation from the omental artery, which arose from the proximal left gastroepiploic artery. A microcatheter was advanced into the left gastroepiploic artery and around the culprit artery bifurcation, which was embolized by inserting coils. The postoperative course was uneventful without worsening of anemia or abdominal symptoms. The patient was discharged after the absence of extravasation was confirmed by contrast-enhanced CT. Although surgical therapy has often been performed for omental bleeding, TAE, which is less invasive and has the advantage of simultaneous diagnosis and treatment, should be attempted as the first-choice therapy.

Intraabdominal hemorrhage is a rare complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH). Recently, there have been a number of reports about the coexistence of intracranial and Intraabdominal aneurysms caused by segmental arterial mediolysis(SAM). The etiology of SAM is still unclear, but catecholamine is known to be one of the causes of SAM. The authors report a rare case in which an increase of catecholamine by SAH affected the Intraabdominal hemorrhage during the perioperative period of SAH. A 67-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with SAH. Cerebral angiography revealed a right internal carotid-posterior communicating artery aneurysm, and an emergent neck clipping was performed. The intraoperative finding was a saccular aneurysm with a partial red wall of the internal carotid artery. Thirteen days after SAH, the patient complained of abdominal pain, but there were no particular findings on abdominal CT. The next day, anemia progressed suddenly because of Intraabdominal hemorrhage caused by rupture of the splenic artery aneurysm. She developed shock and consciousness disturbance, and left hemiparesis due to vasospasm appeared. She recovered from shock after receiving transfusion and coil embolization of the splenic artery aneurysm. Her consciousness and left hemiparesis improved after two months of rehabilitation. The radiological findings of the splenic artery aneurysm are compatible with SAM. We believe that an increase in catecholamine by SAH affected the development and rupture of the splenic artery aneurysm. In cases of SAH with abdominal pain, a detailed examination of the abdomen might be needed, and the use of catecholamine for symptomatic vasospasm should be carefully performed.
