LESS FREQUENT CAUSES OF LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL BLEEDING

In the United States, four diseases account for the vast majority of cases of lower intestinal bleeding: arteriovenous malformation, diverticulosis, neoplasms, and internal hemorrhoids. In this article the authors discuss less frequent causes of gastrointestinal bleeding. "Common" less frequent causes of gastrointestinal bleeding include solitary rectal ulcer syndrome, colonic varices, mesenteric vascular insufficiency, small bowel diverticula, Meckel's diverticulum, aortoenteric fistula, vasculitis, small intestinal ulceration, endometriosis, radiation-induced injury, and intussusception. Less frequent causes of gastrointestinal bleeding that have been recently described include portal colopathy, diversion colitis, and gastrointestinal bleeding in runners.

Small intestinal intussusception: an easily misunderstood sign.

The roentgenographic diagnosis of small intestinal intussusception is usually associated with a coil spring appearance plus a narrow central channel. However, if the invagination already is established and fixed on arrival of the contrast medium, only the central channel is visible, giving an almost equally characteristic appearance. This appearance, if persistent, may introduce a note of urgency since vascular insufficiency may be impending.

Jejunal adenoma producing intussusception: report on a case.

A case of adenomatous polyp of the jejunum with intussusception is described. The diagnosis was made on the radiological examination. Symptoms had been present for six years before the diagnosis was made. Melaena of sufficient severity to require repeated blood transfusions was the main symptom. The clinical and radiological features of benign small intestine tumours and intussusception are discussed briefly. The case illustrates the necessity for careful examination of the small intestine when routine examination fails to reveal the cause of melaena.
