ABSTRACT
Typhoid fever is still endemic in developing countries and the cause of much morbidity and mortality. Complications such as intestinal hemorrhage, intestinal perforation, hepatitis, pyelonephritis, cholecystitis, osteomyelitis are known to occur. The classical approach to management of intestinal hemorrhage due to typhoid ulceration has been conservative. In, however, the event of massive, persistent and life-threatening hemorrhage not responding to conservative measures, early surgical intervention is life-saving. But surgical intervention is difficult due to multiple bleeding sites and friable distal ileum and colon. These two cases are reported in order to draw attention to the usefulness of mesenteric arteriography and the effectiveness of transcatheter embolization therapy in massive intestinal hemorrhage due to typhoid fever.
