Case description

An 80 year-old woman with post-radiation proctitis. The patient has cervix carcinoma and underwent radiotherapy. The images and videos display telangiectasias, which is the physiopathologic cause of this clinical entity. In 1897, 2 years after the discovery of x-rays by Roentgen, radiation-induced intestinal injury was first reported.
