We report on a 17-year-old patient with severe hemophilia A without inhibitors who developed abdominal bleeding after an episode of severe cough. Abdominal ultrasound showed intramural intestinal hematoma as well as large amount of peritoneal fluid appearing as blood and right hematocele. Abdominal CT revealed markedly thickened intestinal wall in sigmoidal region. Patient was managed with replacement therapy as well as peritoneal drainage with favorable outcome. This is the first report on a hematoperitoneum in a hemophiliac due to ruptured intramural sigmoidal hematoma.
