“…This explains why it is more common in older age group. 4 Age related degeneration and weakening of smooth muscle layer of the vessels also has an impact over it. The fact that it is more common in right colon can be explained by Laplace law, that states intramural tension is equal to the radius multiplied by pressure gradient across the colonic wall i.e.…”

Angiodysplasias is a kind of vascular malformation preferably involves the veins. Angiodysplasia of colon is the second most common cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding after diverticulosis. It usually involves caecum and ascending colon. Patient may either present with complaints of fresh bleeding per rectum or with melena. It usually occurs in elderly because of age related degeneration of small blood vessel walls. The case presented here involves a male patient of 25-year age with complains of intermittent bleeding per rectum and generalized weakness from one month. After examination it was found to have vascular ectasia involving mid transverse colon, left colon and the rectum coming down to anal verge which culminated into abdominoperineal resection. Biopsy of resected segment came to be angiodysplasia with external surface of specimen showing dilation of multiple vascular channels in entire length up to anal verge. This case report shows that though angiodysplasia is more common in old age but while exploring a young patient with lower gastrointestinal tract bleeding, and congestive changes are found in left colon possibility of angiodysplasia should also be kept in mind.

Heyde syndrome, marked by aortic stenosis, gastrointestinal bleeding from angiodysplasia, and acquired von Willebrand syndrome, is often underreported. Shear stress from a narrowed aortic valve degrades von Willebrand factor multimers, leading to angiodysplasia formation and von Willebrand factor deficiency. This case report aims to raise clinician awareness of Heyde syndrome, its complexity, and the need for a multidisciplinary approach. We present a 75-year-old man with aortic stenosis, gastrointestinal bleeding from angiodysplasia, and acquired von Willebrand syndrome type 2A. The patient was successfully treated with argon plasma coagulation and blood transfusions. He declined further treatment for aortic stenosis but was in good overall health with improved laboratory results during follow-up. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive review of the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of this syndrome, discuss current diagnostic and treatment approaches, and offer future perspectives for further research on this topic.
