Description
Intissar Lasfar and colleagues report, in 2026, successful endoscopic treatment of a rare bleeding lesion in the duodenum at a military hospital in Marrakech. A Dieulafoy lesion is an abnormally large artery just under the gut lining that can burst through a tiny erosion. Duodenal sites are exceptional, with few cases reported worldwide.
Their patient was 76 years old with several long-term illnesses. He arrived after four days of black stools and severe anaemia. Endoscopy found the lesion in the duodenum's second part, bleeding diffusely with no ulcer nearby. Injection of adrenaline followed by two metal clips stopped the bleeding, and the patient did well. The report also discusses managing blood-thinning medicines during active bleeding.
