Abstract

Dieulafoy’s lesion is rare cause of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding. Mortality is high if not early diagnosed and treated properly. Thus, it must be excluded and treated in patients with GIB as fast as possible. These lesions are usually observed in upper gastrointestinal system and mostly in the stomach. It is very rare in rectum. Here we report a rare case of lower gastrointestinal bleeding caused by rectal Dieulafoy’s lesion.

Özet

Dieulafoy lezyonu hayatı tehdit eden gastrointestinal kanamanın nadir bir nedenidir. Erken tanı konulup uygun şekilde tedavi edilmezse mortalite yüksektir. Bu nedenle, gastrointestinal kanaması olan hastalarda mümkün olduğunca çabuk dışlanmalı ve tedavi edilmelidir. Bu lezyonlar genellikle üst gastrointestinal sistemde ve çoğunlukla midede görülür. Rektumda çok nadirdir. Burada rektal Dieulafoy lezyonunun neden olduğu nadir bir alt gastrointestinal kanama olgusu sunulmuştur.
