Case description

(Post-irradiation mucosal vascular changes) Colonoscopy demonstrates multiple twisted small telangiectasias compatible with her history of radiation exposure. The most common symptom is rectal bleeding in association with rectal inflammation known as radiation proctitis. The bleeding is caused by new blood vessel formation as a result of the inflammation caused by radiation. These blood vessels are fragile and bleed easily.
