“…A variety of therapies for ectopic varices have been described. Surgical approaches such as portosystemic shunt [1,8,9] or resection [10] are the preferred methods of management. Methods of vascular recanalization with vascular stenting [11] and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) [12] have been described.…”

“…Varices commonly appear as localized multiple, tubular, serpiginous lesions. However, detection of colonic varices by barium studies or colonoscopy is not always possible [7]. The intraluminal pressure associated with full luminal distention may collapse the varices, making their visualization difficult.…”

Colonic varices are a rare cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding, with approximately 40 cases reported in the literature. Portal hypertension is by far the most common cause of colonic varices, with local mesenteric vein obstruction constituting a very rare cause. We present a case of colonic varices not associated with portal hypertension but secondary to prior sigmoid resection and inferior mesenteric vein occlusion.

“…Als Therapie kommt bei segmentaler Gefäßerkrankung oder exakt lokalisierter Blutungsquelle in erster Linie eine operative Resektion in Frage (3,6,12,15,16,20). Sie ist bei diffusem Befall aus prophylaktischer Indikation aber nicht praktikabel.…”

Vaskuläre Anomalien als Ursache rezidivierender intestinaler Blutungen^*

A 24-year-old patient suffered from acute intestinal haemorrhage three times within 10 years. After the last bleeding coloscopy demonstrated mesenterial varices in the terminal ileum and in the colon between the caecum and the left flexure. There were no signs of portal hypertension or obstruction of the superior mesenteric vein either by sonography or by angiography. Arteriovenous malformations of the vascular ectasia type were identified as other potential causes of haemorrhage when selective digital subtraction angiography of the superior mesenteric artery was performed segmentally in the proximal jejunum. Since the bleeding stopped spontaneously, no curative therapeutic consequences resulted from the combined vascular disorder. The patient was advised to submit to treatment immediately if bleeding recurred, to enable an angiography to be performed in the acute stage.
