ABSTRACT

Direct oral anticoagulants have become more popular in recent years and have largely replaced vitamin K antagonists in the treatment of certain conditions, such as stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and venous thromboembolism. Rivaroxaban is one of the direct oral anticoagulants that inhibit factor Xa and a rare cause of peritoneal haemorrhage which is uncommon and life-threatening complication. In this report, we present a 29-year-old female patient using rivaroxaban due to deep vein thrombosis after pregnancy and developing intraperitoneal hemorrhage around terminal ileum and cecum clinically mimicking acute appendicitis.
Keywords: rivaroxaban, intraperitoneal hemorrhage, acute appendicitis
