Background
Intramural duodenal hematoma is a rare condition. Different imaging
modalities are at hand for diagnosis.
Purpose
To identify patients with intramural duodenal hematoma and report imaging
findings and clinical courses.
Material and Methods
Typical imaging patterns using ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic
resonance imaging were carried out on 10 patients.
Results
The mean patient age was 7.5 years. The average disease duration was 13
months. Clinical signs of improvement were observed within 16 days. Residues
were still detectable at long-term follow-up.
Conclusion
For patients with intramural duodenal wall hematoma, diagnosis should be
considered early. Typical imaging findings should be known to ensure optimal
treatment.
