| Sumario: |
The lower gastrointestinal bleeding is between 10 and 30% of all the patients with gastrointestinal bleeding who visit the emergency room. The etiology is clearly related to age group. The most common cause of gastrointestinal bleeding is diverticular disease and the anatomical site where there is more of diverticula is in the left side, but the site that is related bleeding is the right side. Bleeding diverticular disease is a real urgency in gastroenterology. The need for emergency surgery, prolonged hospitalization and mortality in cases where is not stopped bleeding by endoscopic measures is high. We report the case of a young patient with recurrent bleeding, bleeding consulting for high and severe anemia. Requires endoscopic management with good clinical outcome. |
