T J Bunt, R Bynoe

    Southern Medical Journal
    |November 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Adhesion-related varices can cause rare lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Mesenteric angiography aids diagnosis, but the condition has a high 50% mortality rate.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Adhesion-related varices are uncommon causes of lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
    • A characteristic clinical history often suggests this diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • This report details two cases of lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage attributed to adhesion-related varices.
    • Mesenteric angiography was employed for diagnostic purposes.

    Findings:

    • Mesenteric angiography is typically diagnostic for adhesion-related varices.
    • The mortality rate associated with this condition is notably high, at 50%.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial due to the high mortality.
    • Understanding this rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding can improve patient outcomes.
