Abstract

Objective: Jejunoileal bleeding is not common, with diverticular disease as the fourth common cause of gastrointestinal
tract bleeding. However, the diagnosis is sometimes challenging and easily overlooked.
Case presentation: This is a case of a 71 years old lady presented with hematochezia. A bleeding ileal pseudodiverticulum
was found and successfully controlled by endoscopic treatment.
Conclusion: Bleeding ileal pseudodiverticulum is an uncommon cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding which
can be treated endoscopically.
