Abstract
Diffuse intestinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is very rare. We describe a case
of diffuse AVM involving the jejunum and the total colon in an adult. In addition,
mesenteric varices without portal hypertension is demonstrated on angiography o f
the superior mesenteric artery. The high flow through the AVMs may be a major component
in the etiology of the mesenteric varices in our case.
