[Ulcer of the colon and Mallory-Weiss syndrome (author's transl)].
A 71 year old man presents with a high and low hemorrhage with no signs of associated shock. Endoscopy shows a laceration of the cardia (Mallory-Weiss syndrome). The low hemorrhage is attributed to a left colic lesion that appears to be an ischemic colitis. Colonoscopy in addition to baryum enema is useful in the differential diagnosis of colon lesions.
