[Stress ulcer in a patient with a subacute subdural hematoma].
During the onset and development of pathologic events, numerous changes occur in the body as the result of an attempt of dynamic equilibrium maintenance. Results of such sequence of events may lead to organic, as well as psychic impairment of the body that is often referred to as the onset of psychosomatic disease. This paper deals with the disorder that could provide better insight in the possible physiopathologic mechanisms of psychosomatic disease or disorders. In a patient, chronic alcoholic subdural hematoma was diagnosed. Peptic ulcer hemorrhage occurred after surgical removal of the hematoma. Possible physiopathologic mechanisms in the origin of this disorder have been described.
