肠道血管瘤病:一例罕见直肠出血病因的病例报告

阅读:1

Abstract

A four-month-old girl presented with recurrent low gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Abdominal ultrasound showed diffuse parietal thickening and hyperemia of the colon. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated diffuse thickening of the colon but also intense arterial globular mural enhancement with diffuse filling in the portal phase. Colonoscopy revealed multiple pseudopolipoid lesions along the colon which were histologically diagnosed as hemangiomas. The infant was diagnosed with gastrointestinal hemangiomatosis and was treated with propranolol resulting in complete resolution of symptoms. TEACHING POINT: Although rare, the possibility of intestinal hemangiomatosis should be considered in the setting of rectal bleeding in an infant.
