RESUMO
Intra-abdominal and intramural hematomas are well-known complications of pseudoaneurysms. We present a case of small bowel obstruction as a result of external mechanical compression from hematoma. Bleeding was localized to the pseudoaneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery and inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery. Angiography was used to control the bleeding with coil embolization. This rare clinical manifestation represents just one of the symptoms associated with pseudoaneurysms of the gastrointestinal tract. Therapeutic options are discussed along with a review of the literature.
