Case Report
Overview
Gastrointestinal bleeding is one of acute abdomen conditions that occur relatively frequently. Most cases can nowadays be managed endoscopically, surgery is rarely required. Approximately 5% of gastrointestinal bleeding cases are cases of so-called obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. The presented massive gastrointestinal bleed case report provides a current view on diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in the context of everyday clinical practice.
Key words:
angiectasia – obscure gastrointestinal bleeding – lower gastrointestinal bleeding – CT-angiography
