Özet
The majority of duodenal diverticula are asymptomatic but may also induce major haemorrhage on rare occasions. Gastrointestinal bleeding due to angiodysplasia in a duodenal diverticulum is very rare. We present a 70-year-old woman with repeated melaena in whom the diagnosis of angiodysplasia in a diverticulum of the fourth part of the duodenum could be made by standard upper endoscopy.
