title: [Intestinal angiodysplasias. Diagnostic and therapeutic problems].
abstract: The cases are presented of 9 patients with intestinal angiodysplasia observed in 1979-85 in the surgery departments of San Carlo Borromeo Hospital, Milan. Diagnostic problems are discussed with particular reference to angiographic and endoscopic methods. Surgical treatment gave good results. Recurrent bleeding may depend on the inadequate assessment of the extension of the lesion or on the existence of other unrecognised intestinal sites.
