[Digestive hemorrhage caused by vascular malformation (Rendu-Osler-Weber). A diagnostic and therapeutic challenge].
We present a case of gastrointestinal bleeding due to vascular malformation (Osler-Weber-Rendu disease), without cutaneous manifestations but with mucous manifestations and familiar and personal history of epistaxis. Until diagnosis, the patient underwent multiple radiologic and endoscopic tests and two surgical procedures. We would underline the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulty of recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to vascular malformation.
