    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Intramural hematoma of the duodenum is a very rare condition. It is mostly seen after blunt abdominal trauma in children. There are only few cases of intramural duodenal hematoma after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Most of them are associated with coagulation disorders. The optimal treatment strategy for this condition is still under debate. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 21-year-old woman who had undergone an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for dyspepsia and protracted singultus. Work-up included biopsies. Immediately after the procedure, the patient developed an intramural hematoma causing complete duodenal obstruction. The patient was treated conservatively and recovered within three weeks without any sequelae. CONCLUSION: Uncomplicated cases of intramural hematoma may be treated conservatively with total parenteral nutrition, fluid and electrolyte replacement.
