Abstract

ESPIL, G. et al. Hemorragia abdominal espontánea: evaluación por imágenes. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2015, vol.79, n.2, pp.86-94. ISSN 1852-9992.

It defines spontaneous abdominal hemorrhage that is not traumatic. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific and usually not suspected by the emergency physician, so the diagnosis is usually made based on imaging findings. The study of images serves three basic functions, which are to perform the diagnosis by detecting the presence of blood intraabdominal, locating the source of bleeding and determining the presence or absence of active arterial extravasation. The causes of non traumatic hemoperitoneum are diverse and can be classified according to the organ of origin in liver, spleen, pancreas, adrenal, kidney, obstetric-gynecology, vascular and soft tissue (peritoneal and muscular).
