ABSTRACT

Colonic varices are an extremely rare disease of the colon, usually detected by colonoscopy and typically suggestive of portal hypertension by liver disease; there are rare cases that are not associated with a disease or they are of idiopathic origin. It is presented a patient of 51 years old with history of anemia of long evolution and occasional mild abdominal pain that was diagnosed colonic varices by colonoscopy. It meant an effort the search of the etiology; the liver disease, the vascular, the congestive heart and adhesions were discarded before the classification as idiopathic colonic varices.
