    Abstract:
    In this case report the diagnostic difficulties of massive intestinal hemorrhage caused by diverticula of the small intestine are demonstrated. After resuscitation of the patient by transfusion of 8 units of packed red cells the segment of the jejunum bearing the diverticula was resected. There was no complication until discharge nor was any recurrent bleeding or functional disorder of the bowel reported during follow-up. The clinical presentation, the different value of diagnostic tools and the therapy are discussed.
