title: Massive bleeding from colonic diverticular disease with NSAID use.
abstract: Non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are not only associated with bleeding in the stomach and duodenum, but can also complicate pre-existing diverticular disease of the colon. Here, a 58 year-old male with severe per rectal bleeding is presented and the role of NSAID as a causative factor of his problem is discussed.
