Abstract
|
|
|
|
The Dieulafoy lesion is a rare cause of severe gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Although it may occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, the lesion is most commonly located in the stomach, and the small bowel is an extremely uncommon site. Since Dieulafoy lesion in the small bowel is difficult to access by endoscopy, it seems impossible to diagnose and treat by initial endoscopy unlike the lesions in stomach. We experienced a case of Dieulafoy lesion of jejunum with massive hemorrhage in 54-year-old male. Active jejunal bleeding was shown by computed tomography scan and mesenteric angiography. Partial resection of the jejunum was performed. Final pathologic finding revealed Dieulafoy lesion of the jejunum. (Korean J Gastroenterol 2013;61:279-281)
