RARE CASE OF BLEEDING FROM ACUTE ULCERS OF THE SMALL INTESTINAL STUMP

Abstract

The diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal bleeding from unknown sources is one of the most difficult problems in emergency surgery as it is associated with a high level of morbidity and mortality, which may reach 80%. Available methods of endoscopic diagnostic in 10-15% cases of these disease don’t identify the source of bleeding. We report the clinical observation of a patient with intestinal bleeding of a high severity from acute ulcers of small intestinal stump.
