Abstract :

 Gastrointestinal bleeding in infants and children can be alarming for parents and caregivers alike. In most cases, the cause is benign,and the course self–limited. However ,in patients with signiÃ¥cant bleed, an aggressive diagnostic approach is warranted. Meckel‘s diverticulum may cause painless but massive gastrointestinal bleeding, hence requires a high index of suspicion. Here, we discuss the dilemma in diagnosing a child with massive gastrointestinal bleed.
