Intramural hematoma of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which can present as abdominal pain or obstruction, can be a rare complication of oral anticoagulants, in particular Warfarin. In this case report, we describe an 81-year-old female patient presenting with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting with a previous history of rectorrhagia. The patient was receiving Warfarin therapy due to cardiac valve replacement for the past 8 years. Laboratory workup revealed elevated INR and anemia. Diagnosis of ileal intramural hematoma was based on ultrasound and CT scan findings. The patient was treated by conservative approaches including administration of fresh frozen plasma, cessation of oral intake, and fluid resuscitation. In CT images, a mass on the left breast and lymphadenopathy on the left axilla were also noticed. Given that most GI intramural hematomas caused by over-anticoagulation are treated non-surgically, considering a patient's drug history, especially in older patients with abdominal pain and obstruction symptoms, is of particular importance.
