Core Tip
Core tip: Few cases of gastrointestinal venous malformations (GIVMs) responsible for intestinal obstruction in adults have been described. We present a rare case of isolated GIVMs involving the colorectum in a patient with symptoms of intestinal obstruction. Digital rectal examination, enhanced computed tomography, colonoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography, barium contrast examination and selective mesenteric angiography contributed to a precise diagnosis. Laparoscopic subtotal proctocolectomy, pull-through transection and coloanal anastomosis were performed. The patient did not develop any serious complications during the follow-up period. We have also summarized the information obtained from 152 cases reported to date, which is important in assisting physicians with the diagnosis and treatment.
