Abstract
The small intestine is host to many lesions that bleed. It must alsways be thought of, therefore, in patients with melena. We propose herein to review the causes for such bleeding, placing particular emphasis on their roentgen manifestations. In preparing this report we reviewed the records of 161 patients with proved lesions of the smll bowel who were admitted to the University Hospital from 1940 to 1948. In addition we consulted the literature, the Registry of Radiologic Pathology of the Army Institute of Pathology and other radiologists. Among the causes for small small intestinal bleeding one may list: Anomalies Meckel's diverticulum Nonmeckelian diverticulum Intestinal duplication Primary ulcers Postbulbar doudenal Jejunal and ileal Enteritis Nontuberculous infections Tuberculous enteritis Sarcoid Intestinal lipodystrophy Benign tumors Myoma Leiomyoma Adenoma Vascular malformations Lipoma Fibroma Neurofibroma Fibroid adenoma
