Anastomosis of the testicular vein with the superior mesenteric vein rarely causes severe gastrointestinal bleeding. To date, there have been few studies describing its appearance on medical imaging. Here, we present multidetector computed tomography three-dimensional and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images of a typical digital subtraction angiography showing proven ectopic bleeding and provide the first review of the image performance.
