[Angiodysplasia of the terminal ileum].
Angiodysplasia, a recently discovered disease, is a pathology of scant incidence in our environment and difficult to find because of the inconclusiveness of diagnostic proofs. The disease, generally related to adults and the elderly, and preferentially located in the large intestine, does not always manifest this way. The case we present is one of the youngest in the world literature and of ectopic localization in the terminal ileum. This confirms the enigmatic aspect of this pathology, which still has characteristics to be delimited. Its etiology, incidence and prevalence are unknown and there are no unanimous criteria for its classification or possible association with other pathologies.
