- Abstract
- Among members of the public, acupuncture has a reputation for being safe. Since 1965, many case reports of serious or even life-threatening incidents caused by acupuncture have been reported in the literature. A 55 year old male was admitted with complaints of abdominal pain after acupuncture therapy at an oriental medicine hospital. Abdominal Computerized Tomography (CT) scan showed a mass measuring 9.8 cm with active bleeding. Emergency operation was performed. He was diagnosed as ileocecal vein rupture following acupuncture. We report here on a case of an iliocecal vein rupture following acupuncture therapy and we review the relevant literature.
