Résumé
Small bowel arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare vascular lesion, which should be considered in patients presenting with gastrointestinal bleeding, as it is a high-flow arterial lesion that can cause life-threatening bleeding. Although a primary endoscopic examination is performed in cases of suspected small bowel bleeding, the diagnosis of the causal lesion is sometimes difficult. We are presenting a case of small bowel AVM that could not be diagnosed endoscopically but was successfully detected using multiphase CT images with an appropriate protocol. The AVM diagnosis was confirmed using digital subtraction angiography. An endovascular coil is placed in the draining vein as a surgical resection marker. The AVM was resected successfully without any complications.
