Arteriovenous malformation of the jejunum in a child

K Tokiwa et al. J Pediatr Surg. 1989 Mar.

Abstract

Arteriovenous malformation of the intestine is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and the diagnosis can be made only by selective mesenteric arteriography to demonstrate the characteristic appearance. This is a case report of a 16-year-old boy with arteriovenous malformation of the jejunum causing massive rectal bleeding. We advocate the use of selective visceral angiography for diagnosing arteriovenous malformations of the intestine, even in children.
