Abstract:
A case of enterorrhagia sustained by arteriovenous malformation of the caecum in a young patient is reported. The importance of an early diagnosis to avert a serious anemia is underlined. Preminent role of colonscopy and selective visceral angiography in the diagnosis of such disease is discussed. At first a conservative urgently treatment of caecum bleeding is advised. Subsequently, when the patients is in more favourable conditions, an elective surgical operation is considered as essential.
