1.Upper digestive bleeding due to rare causes. Diagnosis and treatment
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2002;12(1):31-32
The study introduced 7 medical records of upper digestive bleeding in the Army Central Hospital 108. Bleeding occurred in position that easy to diagnose such as duodenum, esophageal, gastric small curve, etc... the causes of upper digestive bleeding include gastric and duodenal ulceration, gastric cancer, esophageal venous dilatation and rupture in patients with cirrhosis with the increase of portal pressure. Some other causes comprise the malignant lymphoma schawonnome or hepatoma, invasive pancreatic tumor into duodenal. It should have combination of endoscopy with biopsy, ultrasound, CT scanner to precisely diagnose.

Meckel diverticulum (MD), a congenital gastrointestinal anomaly, is often involved in pediatrics, but less in the adult population. The patient in this report was a 69-year-old female presented with massive gastrointestinal bleeding causing hemorrhagic shock due to MD containing ectopic pancreatic tissue. A review of the literature revealed that gastrointestinal bleeding from MD containing ectopic pancreatic tissue is rare in adults and difficult to be identified preoperation. MD should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis for lower gastrointestinal bleeding, although scarce in adults, especially when the patient has massive painless bleeding.

An autopsy case of sudden death induced by alimentary tract hemorrhage was presented, which was caused by the unexpected rupture of clinically unrecognized tuberculous abdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). The initial diagnosis was made of the syndrome of coronary heart disease and hypertensive disease. The detailed autopsy showed that the alimentary tract hemorrhage was caused by a sudden rupture of the mass after posture changing was ascertained as the cause of death. The diagnosis of TAAA was determined by the autopsy findings. Analysis for the medical dispute of TAAA was described, and the difficulty of the diagnosis and medico-legal implications were also discussed.

The majority of patients with scleroderma have gastrointestinal involvement, and a few experience gastrointestinal hemorrhage, however, gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to Mallory-Weiss syndrome is very rare. We report upon a 24-year-old pregnant woman with scleroderma who had gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to Mallory-Weiss syndrome.

Amyloidosis is a disorder characterized by extracellular deposition of amyloid in various tissues and organs. Gastrointestinal manifestations including gastroparesis, constipation, malabsorption, intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and bleeding are common. GI bleeding is a rare initial symptom which can be fatal in some cases. Absence of systemic symptoms and nonspecific endoscopic findings in amyloidosis may make diagnosis difficult. Therefore, amyloidosis-induced GI bleeding should be considered in patients with an obscure hemorrhage. Recently, we experienced a 65-year-old woman who presented with massive hematochezia as a manifestations of amyloidosis. Colonoscopy and SMA angiography showed massive bleeding in the small and large intestine. Colonoscopic biopsy established amyloidosis. We report this case with a review of the relevant literatures.
