Popis: | A Dieulafoy’s lesion is an uncommon, but important, cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is associated with massive, life-threatening hemorrhage and is typically difficult to diagnose. Although originally described in the stomach and rarely found below the proximal stomach, identical lesions have been reported in other gastrointestinal organs, including the duodenum, jejunum, colon, and rectum. Most cases occur with bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. However, we present an incidental asymptomatic Dieulafoy’s lesion in the colon, which was treated successfully by using an endoscopic hemoclipping technique. |
