| Core Tip |
Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is one of the primary causes of morbidity and mortality in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Hematochezia is a primary manifestation of LGIB and is often associated with ulcers, tumors, and vascular malformations. Here, we report a very rare etiology, which can be attributed to an internal iliac artery aneurysm invading the proximal rectum causing an arterial fistula to the rectum, resulting in massive hematochezia. We hope that this case serves as a reminder that hematochezia may stem from less common causes. |
