Abstract | Dieulafoy's lesion (DL) is an uncommon vascular malformation-an aberrant, dilated submucosal arteriole (1-3 mm thick, 10 x nv). It runs near the mucosal surface and protrudes, and may potentially induce gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). It usually originates in the stomach (upper lesser curvature), with endoscopy being the diagnostic, therapeutic modality of choice. Jejunal DL (JDL) is a rare cause of obscure GIB (OGIB) that is challenging for endoscopists and threatens patient lives. Other diagnostic techniques such as Tc99m-labeled red blood cell scintigraphy, well established in the classic armamentarium for OGIB diagnosis, cannot overcome endoscopic procedures. We report the case of a patient with OGIB secondary to an exceptionally located Dieulafoy's lesion who underwent combined endoscopic treatment. |
