A man in his 40's was admitted to the general surgery ward with multiple episodes of painless bright red rectal bleeding and clots. Urgent outpatient colonoscopy revealed a diverticulum with a wide diameter blood vessel originating from its base, which was not actively bleeding. This case is one of the first to clearly identify large caliber blood vessels emerging from a colonic diverticulum.
A man in his 40's was admitted to the general surgery ward with multiple episodes of large amounts of painless bright red per rectal (PR) bleeding and passage of clots. Urgent outpatient colonoscopy revealed a diverticulum which was associated with a wide diameter blood vessel originating from its base which was not actively bleeding. The clinical picture presented by the colonoscopy is one of the first to clearly identify large caliber blood vessels emerging from a colonic diverticulum.
