Classification
There are multiple systems of classification of angiodysplasia. One system of classification is based on location, size, and number of angiodysplasias. [1] Another system uses endoscopic findings to classify angiodysplasia. [2]
| Location | Size | Number of lesions |
|---|---|---|
| Gastric | Minute (<2 mm in diameter) | Unique (n = 1) |
| Duodenal | Intermediate (2 to 5 mm) | Multiple (n = 2 to 10) |
| Jejunal | Large (>5 mm) | Diffuse (n > 10) |
| Colonic | ||
| For example, "D-S2-N3" signifies multiple angiodysplasias of intermediate size in the duodenum. | ||
Type 1: Angioectasias:
Type 1 a - punctulate erythema (< 1 mm), with or without oozing
Type 1 b - patchy erythema (a few mm), with or without oozing
Type 2: Dieulafoy's lesions:
Type 2 a - punctulate lesions (< 1 mm), with pulsatile bleeding
Type 2b - pulsatile red protrusion, without surrounding venous dilatation
Type 3 - pulsatile red protrusion, with surrounding venous dilatation
Type 4 - other lesions not classified into any of the above categories.
