Abstract

Abstract: Dieulafoy's lesion is a rare but potentially life-threatening cause of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, with its rarity possibly attributing to unawareness and underdiagnosis. Due to its subtle presentation and the potential for massive bleeding, Dieulafoy's lesion often poses a diagnostic challenge. This report presents the case of a 68-year-old patient with upper GI bleeding, where computed tomography (CT) angiography confirmed a Dieulafoy's lesion which was successfully treated with endoscopic hemoclip application. The aim of this article is to increase awareness about Dieulafoy's lesion and to stress the importance of CT angiography in cases where Dieulafoy's lesion might be missed during endoscopy.

十二指肠病变的计算机断层血管造影诊断——一种罕见的非静脉曲张性胃肠道出血病因。

摘要：diulafoy病变是一种罕见但可能危及生命的胃肠道出血原因，其罕见可能归因于不认识和诊断不足。由于其微妙的表现和潜在的大出血，diulafoy的病变往往提出了诊断的挑战。本文报告了一位68岁的上消化道出血患者，其计算机断层扫描（CT）血管造影证实了Dieulafoy病变，并成功地应用内窥镜止血夹治疗。这篇文章的目的是提高对diulafoy病变的认识，并强调在内镜检查中可能遗漏diulafoy病变的情况下CT血管造影的重要性。
