Sun Y, Zhao Y, Lu X and Cao D

Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) is thought to be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the clinicians and radiologists. A 46-year-old woman complaining of intermittent melena for 3 months was admitted.

The value of CTA to the diagnosis of OGIB is showed.
