Abstract

A 32-year-old man was admitted with melena that was found to be due to a small arteriovenous malformation in the terminal ileum. The use of 99m technetium-labeled erythrocyte scanning and selective superior mesenteric artery arteriography established the diagnosis before laparotomy was done, and aided in achieving permanent cure. The importance of this rare cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding is discussed.
