Overview
On physical examination, signs of iron deficiency anemia can be found in patients with occult bleeding. In addition, a systolic ejection murmur can be heard if angiodysplasia is associated with aortic stenosis.
Physical Examination
On physical examination, signs of iron deficiency anemia[1] can be found in patients with occult bleeding like:
Appearance of the Patient
- Clinical presentation of a patient with angiodysplasia varies according to blood loss.
- Patients with chronic, occult blood loss may appear pale, tired, depressed, and lethargic.
Skin
- Skin changes like rough or dry skin may be seen.
- Nail changes like koilonychia may be present
- Hair loss (rare)
HEENT
- Conjunctival pallor, atrophic glossitis,[2] cheilosis may be seen
Lungs
- Pulmonary examination of patients with angiodysplasia is usually normal.
Heart
- A systolic ejection murmur can be heard if angiodysplasia is associated with aortic stenosis.
Abdomen/Pelvis
- Abdominal examination of patients with angiodysplasia is usually normal. In some cases, however, a lower abdominal/pelvic mass may be the only clue for the diagnosis.
Genitourinary
- Genitourinary examination of patients with angiodysplasia is usually normal.
Neuromuscular
- Neuromuscular examination of patients with angiodysplasia is usually normal.
