Abstract

Dieulafoy's lesion is a rare cause of massive bleeding, which may be seen in any part of the gastrointestinal tract, but 80% of the lesions are reported in the proximal stomach. It is seen as a protruding or actively bleeding vessel without any ulcer. Endoscopic detection and treatment is difficult. Here, we present successful detection and treatment of a Dieulafoy's lesion located in the proximal stomach in a 74-year-old male patient, for whom urgent total gastrectomy was planned for the massive bleeding

Dieulafoy lezyonu'nun başarılı endoskopik tedavisi

Abstract

Dieulafoy lezyonu, bütün gastrointestinal sistemde görülebilse de %80'i proksimal midede bulunan seyrek görülen masif bir kanama sebebidir. Herhangi bir ülser olmadan, lümene protrüde olan veya aktif kanayan damar şeklinde görülür. Endoskopik olarak saptanması ve tedavisi güçtür. Burada masif kanama nedeniyle acil total gastrektomi planlanan 74 yaşında bir erkek hastada mide proksimalindeki Dieulafoy lezyonunun saptanmasını ve başarılı tedavisini sunuyoruz
