title: [Elderly patient with non specific multiple ulcer of the small intestine associated with nutritional edema and anemia].
abstract: An 83-year-old woman had felt malaise. Blood examination showed renal failure, anemia, and hypoproteinemia. On the 7th day, she suddenly had tarry stool. But, gastroscopy and colonfiberscopy disclosed no remarkable abnormality on the mucosal surface of the stomach, the duodenum and the large intestine. On the 10th day, her symptom became aggravated, and emergency laparotomy and endoscopy in the small intestine was scheduled. After the jejunotomy, she underwent endoscopy of the small intestine. The endoscopic examination showed multiple ulcer of the jejunum, and she underwent jejunectomy. Pathologic examination diagnosed her as having non specific multiple ulcer of the small intestine with jejunal lesion.
