The authors report a case of a 76-year-old man, with not past history of abnormal bleeding, who suffered an acute, recurrent, intestinal haemorrhage from extensive angiodysplasia of the colon. Intestinal bleeding and angiodysplasia were associated with a von Willebrand's disease. Genetic analysis showed a point mutation in arginine 611 of the mature von Willebrand's factor subunit (A1 loop) confirming a von Willebrand's disease type 2.

D014842 von Willebrand Diseases Group of hemorrhagic disorders in which the VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR is either quantitatively or qualitatively abnormal. They are usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait though rare kindreds are autosomal recessive. Symptoms vary depending on severity and disease type but may include prolonged bleeding time, deficiency of factor VIII, and impaired platelet adhesion.

D016888 Angiodysplasia Acquired degenerative dilation or expansion (ectasia) of normal BLOOD VESSELS, often associated with aging. They are isolated, tortuous, thin-walled vessels and sources of bleeding. They occur most often in mucosal capillaries of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT leading to GASTROINTESTINAL HEMORRHAGE and ANEMIA. Angiodysplasias
