[A case of ruptured ileal varices associated with alcoholic liver cirrhosis].
The case was a 33-year-old woman with alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Her chief complaint was melena. She had undergone the abdominal operation in the past. Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy did not reveal the bleeding point in the gastrointestinal tract. We diagnosed the bleeding from the ileocecum by the hemorrhage scintigraphy, the superior mesenteric artery angiography, and CT angiography. She had varices at the terminal ileum and adhesion between the ovary and the ileum end. The subtotal resection of the ileum was performed.
