Objective. To improve the localized diagnosis of insidious recurrent small intestinal hemorrhage. Methods. This retrospective analysis include 64 cases of such diseases

which were admitted from 1988 to 1998 to our hospital. Result. Ultrasonography

CT

small bowel pneumobariumgraphy

diluted barium enema

isotopic examination

DSA and intraoperative small-bowel endoscopy were used for diagnosis of hemorrhagic site

and 37 cases got a definite location before operation

while 10 cases were confirmed the diagnosis during the operation.Forty-seven cases were treated surgically

while the other 17 cases had non-surgical treatment.Of the 47 cases

39 cases underwent partial enterectomy

5 cases had suture and ligature of vascular deformity

2 cases had Whipple’s operation

and one patient had ectomy of the end of ileum and right colon. Conclusion. DSA

Isotopic examination and intraoperative enteroscopy are of considerable importance for the location judgement of recurrent small intestinal hemorrhage.
