Abstract
We report an adolescent with chronic, recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding in
whom extensive prior investigations failed to reveal the source of bleeding. Angiography
accurately identified a bleeding Dieulafoy lesion of the duodenum which was successfully
embolized. The clinical history, angiographic appearances and treatment of this rare
lesion are presented.
