Case report: vascular anomaly in Dieulafoy's disease.
We present a case of a vascular anomaly with Dieulafoy's disease in a young man. The diagnosis was made by coeliac and selective left gastric angiography after endoscopy, laparotomy and angiography had failed to detect the lesion. The patient was treated successfully by laparotomy and resection of the bleeding area in the stomach. This is the second report of a vascular anomaly with Dieulafoy's disease.
