Angiodysplasia of the colon, Meckel's diverticulum and cardiac malformation. A case report.
A clinical case of angiodysplasia of the colon, Meckel's diverticulum and mitral valve prolapse is reported in a 20 year old man. Association of vascular ectasia of the colon and Meckel's diverticulum has been reported in a few cases but rarely with other kinds of malformation. This brief clinical paper reports a congenital aetiology of an uncommon disease of the colon, such as angiodysplasia in a young male.
