Trans Arterial Embolization of Spontaneous Intra-Abdominal Haemorrhage from Omental Lipoma

Trans Arterial Embolization of Spontaneous Intra-Abdominal Haemorrhage from Omental Lipoma

We describe 3 cases of omental lipoma of whom 2 presented with symptomatic haemorrhage. Notably the haemorrhage in the 2 reported cases was from foregut arteries. Thorough knowledge of anatomy and embryology is critical in identifying the source of haemorrhage and differentiating this condition from...
