BACKGROUND
Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in healthy males is an extremely rare, life threatening emergency condition with high mortality and morbidity, if not diagnosed and managed early.
METHODS
We present a 33-year-old male who presented with hemoperitoneum following self-induced vomiting.
CONCLUSIONS
To suspect and diagnose the condition is a challenge for clinician if ambiguity in presentation prevails.
CONCLUSIONS
The most important strategy in management of equivocal cases is early surgical exploration to establish the diagnosis and treat accordingly.
