title: Pouch pseudoaneurysm: a rare cause of recurrent haemorrhage following ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.
abstract: Bleeding following restorative proctocolectomy for chronic ulcerative colitis is an uncommon complication. Usually bleeding occurs from the ileal pouch-anal anastomotic site in the early postoperative period. Significant pouch bleeding in the late postoperative course is rarely encountered. A mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm along the ileal pouch staple line may be a cause of late-presenting massive per-rectal bleed. Although a rare phenomenon, it must be considered to be a differential in such a situation.
