  • Title: Familial varices of the colon and small bowel.
    Author: Atin V, Sabas JA, Cotano JR, Madariaga M, Galan D.
    Journal: Int J Colorectal Dis; 1993 Mar; 8(1):4-8. PubMed ID: 8492042.
    Abstract:
    We describe two patients, brother and sister, with identical pathology, whose only clinical presentation was recurrent massive lower digestive tract bleeding. Haemorrhage was due to a complex form of familial venous vascular malformation in the digestive tract, represented by the existence of varices of colon, small intestine and, to a lesser extent, oesophagus and gastric funcus. We have been able to study, examine and treat both patients for 9 and 3 years respectively.
