Abstract
Warfarin is an oral vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant agent, frequently used in the primary and secondary prophylaxis of thromboembolic events. Overdosing may occur due to its narrow therapeutic range and frequent drug interactions. This toxicity can be prevented with close INR monitoring. Gastrointestinal system bleeding, brain hemorrhage, hematuria and various organ bleeding may occur due to overdose. Jejunal intramural hematoma is a rare, but life-threatening condition in warfarin use if it is not noticed and not considered in the differential diagnosis. In this article, we present a case of jejunal intramural hematoma due to warfarin overdose , which was successfully treated with conservative treatment.
