SH often occurs in anticoagulated patients and requires urgent treatment to prevent mortality. SH is rarely associated with infective endocarditis (IE). To date, there are no reported cases of a haemorrhagic mesenteric abscess causing haemoperitoneum. We present the case of a warfarinized 30-year-old intravenous drug user with IE 2\u00a0weeks post-revision of a metallic valve who reported abdominal pain and subsequently suffered haemodynamic collapse. Abdominal computed tomography and damage-control laparotomy revealed haemoperitoneum secondary to an actively bleeding mesenteric nodule which was resected. Histopathology confirmed a haemorrhagic mesenteric abscess representing a rare sequela of IE and a novel cause of SH. Given that the incidence of IE appears to be increasing in people who inject drugs in Australia, the general surgeon should be aware of this clinical entity and the need for urgent intervention to prevent catastrophic sequelae.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjad023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,2]],"date-time":"2023-02-02T22:38:49Z","timestamp":1675377529000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Haemorrhagic mesenteric abscess in infective endocarditis: a unique cause of spontaneous haemoperitoneum"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2023","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9256-6233","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Phillipa","family":"Read","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Perth Hospital Department of General Surgery, , Perth, WA 6000 , Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1574-3160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrick","family":"Walker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Perth Hospital Department of General Surgery, , Perth, WA 6000 , Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tulsi","family":"Menon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Perth Hospital Department of General Surgery, , Perth, WA 6000 , Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020220200247500_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e250730","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2022-250730","article-title":"Spontaneous intraperitoneal haemorrhage of the gastric vessels","volume":"15","author":"Wagner","year":"2022","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"key":"2023020220200247500_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"65","DOI":"10.1016\/j.suc.2013.10.006","article-title":"Spontaneous hemoperitoneum","volume":"94","author":"Kasotakis","year":"2014","journal-title":"Surg Clin North Am"},{"key":"2023020220200247500_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"343","DOI":"10.1007\/s00261-014-0220-z","article-title":"Radiological diagnosis and management of idiopathic spontaneous intra-abdominal haemorrhage (abdominal apoplexy): a case series","volume":"40","author":"Law","year":"2015","journal-title":"Abdom Imaging"},{"key":"2023020220200247500_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"484","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hlc.2017.03.166","article-title":"The current epidemiology of injecting drug use-associated infective endocarditis in Victoria, Australia in the midst of increasing crystal methamphetamine use","volume":"27","author":"Wright","year":"2018","journal-title":"Heart Lung Circ"},{"key":"2023020220200247500_ref5","article-title":"Contained rupture of a small mycotic abdominal aneurysm in a patient with infective endocarditis","volume":"13","author":"Onoriode","year":"2021","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"2023020220200247500_ref6","article-title":"Conservative management of a ruptured mycotic aneurysm","volume":"15","author":"Lodge","year":"2013","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"key":"2023020220200247500_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"995","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jiac.2022.03.005","article-title":"A case of infective endocarditis mimicking a large mesenteric abscess","volume":"28","author":"Yokota","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Infect Chemother"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2023\/2\/rjad023\/49058625\/rjad023.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2023\/2\/rjad023\/49058625\/rjad023.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,2]],"date-time":"2023-02-02T22:38:55Z","timestamp":1675377535000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjad023\/7022226"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjad023","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2042-8812"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2023,2]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]]},"article-number":"rjad023"}}
