Gastrointestinal hemorrhage continues to be a major medical problem. Even with improvements in both diagnostic and therapeutic, a significant number of patients still require surgical intervention for control of hemorrhage. When the source of persistent lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage is unknown, subtotal colectomy is a conceptually rational management choice. The authors present a case of massive lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage with unusual fatal outcome. A review of literature of this condition and a discussion about the diagnosis, treatment and etiopathogenesis are presented.
