Overview
Tests such as colonoscopy and screenings for bleeding disorders should be performed, and angiography can assist in determining the location and severity of bleeding.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Colonoscopy Colonoscopy might be helpful to rule out other sources of bleeding but it is not used as an identification tool. Double-balloon enteroscopy Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is a potentially useful tool for diagnosis as a guide for minimally invasive treatment
Laparoscopy and laparotomy: means by which an incidental diverticulum is most commonly detected
