Bleeding from varicosities of the small intestine. An analysis of the clinical case

The article presents a clinical analysis of recurrent bleeding from varicosities of the small intestine. The work is supplemented by a review of new literature on the problem of varicose bleeding from ectopic varices of the gastrointestinal tract. This pathology is very rare, and when looking for a source of bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, doctors are faced with many problems in diagnositics and successful treatment of this complex disease. Anatomy of varicosities of the small intestine complicates diagnostics, and this often leads to invasive or even surgical intervention. If the source of bleeding is not identified in time, then a delay in treatment can lead to fatal consequences. Attention to this problem is associated with great difficulties in diagnosis of this disease, limited number of therapeutic manipulations and high mortality in the cases of severe complications.
