Figure 1 Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans on admission.
A: In the arterial phase, a diverticulum of the terminal ileum was seen and leakage of the contrast medium into the ileal lumen around the diverticulum was also visualized (arrow); B: In the venous phase, the contrast medium spread to the ileocecal valve (arrow).

In the terminal ileum, a diverticulum was seen (A) and active hemorrhage from the diverticulum was demonstrated (B). Closure of the diverticulum was carried out endoscopically with three metal clips (C).
