Abstract

Colonoscopy is a widely used diagnostic and therapeutic intervention with an excellent safety profile. Although an intraperitoneal hemorrhage is a rare complication after colonoscopy, and usually associated with splenic injury or solid organ pathology, it is potentially serious and can be life-threatening. We report a rare case of spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage after diagnostic colonoscopy without splenic injury or intra-abdominal abnormality, known as idiopathic spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage. This case emphasizes that physicians should be aware of the emergence of acute abdomen after colonoscopy.

대장 내시경에 의한 복강 내 출혈은 매우 드물지만 빠른 진단과 처치가 필요한 중한 합병증이다. 저자들은 검진 목적으로 대장 내시경을 시행받은 57세 남자에서 대장 내시경 이후 비장손상 없이 자발성 복강 내 출혈이 발생하였고 이후 수술적 처치 없이 호전된 증례를 경험하여 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.
