  • Title: Arteriovenous malformation of the jejunum in a child.
    Author: Tokiwa K, Iwai N, Michihata T, Kinugasa A.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1989 Mar; 24(3):311-2. PubMed ID: 2785176.
    Abstract:
    Arteriovenous malformation of the intestine is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and the diagnosis can be made only by selective mesenteric arteriography to demonstrate the characteristic appearance. This is a case report of a 16-year-old boy with arteriovenous malformation of the jejunum causing massive rectal bleeding. We advocate the use of selective visceral angiography for diagnosing arteriovenous malformations of the intestine, even in children.
