[Dieulafoy's exulceratio simplex, a life-threatening gastric hemorrhage].
The 'exulceratio simplex Dieulafoy' is an uncommon and probably underdiagnosed cause of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage. The bleeding is intermittent and even endoscopically often missed. In this article the pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, clinical presentation and therapy are discussed. We present one case treated in our hospital.
