Portal hypertensive colopathy (PHC) is a recently described entity in patients with portal hypertension which can cause even life-threatening lower gastrointestinal bleeding. In contrast to variceal bleed, there is no standardized treatment for the control of bleeding from these lesions. We report a case of alcoholic cirrhosis with portal hypertension, in whom bleeding from colonic angiodysplasia-like lesions was effectively controlled by somatostatin infusion.
