Abstract
A 73-year-old female patient developed beside aortic stenosis angiodysplasia in the caecum, which gave rise to serious, repeated intestinal bleedings. As a result, the patient was admitted to hospital 32 times. Over a period of 8 years she was given 178 litres of blood. The vascular disorder which was the source of bleeding, was detected by mesenterial angiography. After resection of the colonic section concerned, the bleeding stopped. The diagnosis of angiodysplasia of the caecum was confirmed by pathological examination.
