Vascular ectasias (angiodysplasias) of the cecum and the ascending colon
Abstract
Over a period of two years (1977-1979) the diagnosis symptomatic vascular ectasias of the colon was made in 7 patients. The authors describe 3 cases with corresponding illustrations. The diagnostic value of selective mesenteric artery angiography and fiber endoscopy for the diagnosis and treatment is stressed. The possible pathogenesis of the vascular abnormality is discussed with reference to the histology and the literature.
