Abstract
Omental bleeding is frequently caused by trauma; i.e., it occurs as a result of inflammation, such as peritonitis following abdominal trauma, and omental torsion due to thrombus or hematoma. Causes of non-traumatic bleeding include rupture of omental varices, infarction, anti-coagulant therapy, diathesis, such as hemophilia, and malignant omental tumors. Omental bleeding of unknown cause has, however, only been reported rarely. We experienced a case of resection with idiopathic omental bleeding but no history of trauma or aneurysm. This case is presented with a discussion of the relevant literature.
