Overview

The exact pathogenesis of angiodysplasia is unknown. It has been proposed that chronic obstruction of submucosal veins coupled with the effect of ageing, ultimately leading to the formation of small arterio-venous collaterals. Angiogenic factors have also been found to play a role in the development of angiodysplasia.

Pathophysiology

  • The exact pathogenesis of angiodysplasia is still unknown.
  • According to a theory, angiodysplasia develops due to chronic obstruction of submucosal veins coupled with the effect of ageing, ultimately leading to the formation of small arterio-venous collaterals.[1]
  • Some studies have revealed increased levels of angiogenic factors like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), Ang2 etc. in small bowel and human colonic angiodysplasia.[2][3]
  • It has also been proposed that aortic stenosis, von Willebrand disease and chronic renal failure by various mechanisms contribute to development of angiodysplasia.[1]

Associated Conditions

The following conditions have been reported to be associated with angiodysplasia:

Histology

Angiodysplastic lesions on histology appear as ectatic, thin-walled blood vessels in mucosa or submucosa.[7]
