Core Tip

Core Tip: The incidence rate of anorectal hemangioma is low, and it is easy to misdiagnose. Colonoscopy, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and other tests are helpful for diagnosis. The selection and results of examinations are crucial for doctors to make correct medical decisions. After comprehensive examinations and a clear diagnosis, selective embolization can alleviate patients’ symptoms and improve their quality of life.
