“…15,16 The histologic features of AVM are submucosal vascular malformation, the presence of thin walled ectatic venous channels, and thick walled fibromuscular vessels with internal elastic fibers connected with a thin walled vein, 17 which are consistent with the pathologic results of our case.…”

“…The term, AVM has been used to describe a wide variety of vascular lesions of the intestine, which include telangiectasia, angiodysplasia, vascular dysplasia and vascular ectasia. 12 Moore et al 13 classified intestinal AVM as follows: Type 1 is a solitary localized lesion within the right colon usually in older patients. Type 2 is a larger, endoscopically visible, and probably congenital lesion common in small intestine.…”

“…Angiographic hallmarks of an AVM of the bowel include early venous filling with a dilated draining vein, a vascular tuft, and a slowly emptying vein. 14,15 In the patient with an angiographically demonstrable AVM, preoperative arterial catheter placement and dye injection are the most efficient method for localizing these lesions, and it also provides a reliable means of limiting the extent of resection.…”

Varices that occur at sites other than the esophagogastric area are termed ectopic varices. An ileal varix is a very rare cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Although ileal varices are generally associated with prior intra-abdominal surgery and adhesions, an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the ileocecal area can cause ileal varices and bleeding in patients with portal hypertension who have not received previous intra-abdominal surgery, which is due to an intestinal or colonic AVM dilating the collateral veins and further aggravating portal hypertension. Surgical treatment should be considered in patients with massive ectopic variceal bleeding. We report a case of massive ileocecal variceal bleeding associated with an AVM that occurred in a patient with alcoholic liver cirrhosis. (Gut and Liver 2008;2:54-59)

“…Congenital arteriovenous fistulas can arise in almost any tissue [3] or organ [4][5][6][7]. About 70% of renal art~ri~venous fistulas are acquired [8][9][10], the majority occurring after biopsy, with most resolving without intervention [9,11].…”
