Abstract
We report a successful colonoscopic identification of acute massive diverticular bleeding in an elderly patient and successful injection therapy with epinephrine. Colonoscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool in acute lower gastrointestinal (LGI) bleeding when the colon can be adequately visualized. Peridiverticular injection therapy should be considered a safe and effective therapeutic option when the bleeding site can be established.Keywords
