Acute exanguinating haemorrhage from large bowel angiodysplasia is a well reported phenomenon, with some centres claiming it to be the causal factor in as many patients as that from diverticular disease (Ford, 1981; Howard et al., 1982). The mortality rate from lower gastrointestinal haemorrhage for all causes is 10% (Way, 1983). We report a case of fatal haematuria caused by arteriovenous malformations involving the right ureter and the bladder.
