ABSTRACT
A clinical case of angiodysplasia of the colon, Meckel's diverticulum and mitral valve prolapse is reported in a 20 year old man. Association of vascular ectasia of the colon and Meckel's diverticulum has been reported in a few cases but rarely with other kinds of malformation. This brief clinical paper reports a congenital aetiology of an uncommon disease of the colon, such as angiodysplasia in a young male.

A personal therapeutic approach to ulcers is described. In this connection, a brief reference to the importance of endoscopy in typings is followed by an account of what is regarded as the best form of treatment. It is felt that resection is the operation of choice when surgery is indicated. Results obtained in 960 cases operated over the last 10 years are cited in support of this contention.
