ABSTRACT

Introduction: jejunal angiodysplasias account for 5-10% of gastrointestinal bleeding cases and up to 40% of those with obscure origin. Case report: a 57-year-old male was diagnosed with jejunal angiodysplasias. Mesenteric arteriography allowed both diagnosis and treatment through selective embolization and surgical resection. Conclusion: arteriography serves as both a diagnostic and therapeutic modality with greater sensitivity and specificity compared to conventional methods.
