Abstract

Dieulafoy's lesion is an uncommon source of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The lesion predominantly occurs in the proximal stomach, but may occur in all parts of the gastrointestinal tract including small bowel, colon and rectum. We herein report a case of a patient who presented with hematochezia from Dieulafoy's lesion of the terminal ileum with adherent blood clots. Bleeding was successfully controlled with endoscopic treatment by utilizing hemoclipping.
