title: [The esophagogastral transitional region--localization of acute and chronic hemorrhages (author's transl)].
abstract: Various diseases which can be associated with hemorrhages are located in the esophagogastral transitional region. Emergency endoscopy can contribute significantly to the detection of an acute source of hemorrhage. Roentgenologic examination can make significant contributions toward the further clarification of acute and especially chronic hemorrhages, by assessment of the topographic, morphologic, functional and angiologic conditions. The relevant diseases in this respect are discussed with regard to clinical pattern and significance of the roentgenologic and endoscopic methods of examination, namely, reflux disease, hiatal hernia, cardial tumors, esophageal varices and Mallory-Weiss syndrome. Differential diagnostic problems are demonstrated by means of relevant cases. Brief reference is also made to "operated cardia" and the associated possibility of hemorrhage.
