Duodeno--jejunal vascular malformation.
Vascular malformations are rare but an important cause of obscure upper gastrointestinal bleeding. A patient with a large vascular malformation involving the duodenum and proximal jejunum, presenting with a severe bout of melaena, is described. The diagnosis was suspected on endoscopy and confirmed by angiography and surgery.
