Abstract

Rectal varices are a rare cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Congenital or familial venous anomalies, portal hypertension, heart failure, and venous thrombosis are predisposing factors, and in a small proportion of patients, the etiology is unknown. This case is presented here in order to highlight the fact that rectal varices, which are rarely seen, can be misdiagnosed and mistreated.

Özet

Rektal varisler alt gastrointestinal sistem kanamasının nadir bir sebebidir. Konjenital veya ailesel venöz anomaliler, portal hipertansiyon, kalp yetmezliği ve venöz trombozlar nedeniyle gelişebilir. Küçük bir bölümde ise sebep bilinmemektedir. Bu olgu; az görülmeleri nedeniyle tanı ve tedavisinde sıkça yanlışlıklara rastlanan rektal varislere dikkat çekmek için sunulmuştur.
