GOVINDARAJAN, Krishna Kumar; ANANTHAKRISHNAN, Ramesh and JACOB, Sajini. Bowel Arteriovenous Malformation: An Unusual Cause of Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding in a Child. GE Port J Gastroenterol [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.3, pp.207-209. Epub Feb 01, 2022. ISSN 2341-4545. https://doi.org/10.1159/000510034.
In a child, lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding can be attributed to different etiologies. Unusually, the presence of bowel arteriovenous malformations can lead to multiple bouts of painless bright red bleeding per rectum, which develop into severe anemia. The article focuses on the diagnosis and management of bowel arteriovenous malformation in a child.
