We report two cases of hemorrhage from ileal varices developing after total proctocolectomy for chronic ulcerative colitis. Intermittent peristomal bleeding preceded life-threatening hemorrhage from tru ileal varices proximal to the stoma. Management by portacaval shunting was effective and has not resulted in encephalopathy.
