ABSTRACT
This work describes three elderly patients with gastric angiodysplasia, an unusual cause of recurrent blood loss and anaemia. The condition can prove difficult to detect, and consequently a delay in making the diagnosis may occur. The favourable response of gastric angiodysplasia to endoscopic laser treatment suggests age should not bar investigation to establish diagnosis. Review of the mode of presentation, aetiology and possible therapeutic endoscopic procedures for angiodysplasia are also discussed
