  • Title: Fatal hemorrhage from rectal varices. Report of two cases.
    Author: Waxman JS, Tarkin N, Dave P, Waxman M.
    Journal: Dis Colon Rectum; 1984 Nov; 27(11):749-50. PubMed ID: 6333974.
    Abstract:
    We report two cirrhotic patients who succumbed to massive rectal bleeding. The source of this hemorrhage remained undiscovered clinically despite endoscopy, a bleeding scan, and celiac angiogram in one patient. Autopsy revealed that the source of the bleeding was rectal varices in both cases.
