[Rare causes of acute gastric hemorrhage].

According to the author's findings rare causes of acute gastric hemorrhages (the Mallory-Weiss syndrome, cancerous lesions of the gastrointestinal organs, excluding the stomach, esophageal and duodenal diverticulum, prolapse of gastric mucosa into the duodenum, necrosis of the gastric wall, its traumatic rupture, the Rendu-Osler disease, rupture of the renal artery aneurysm) made 3.2% of other causes. Profuse hemorrhage was noted in 12 of 32 patients under consideration. In 8 of 32 patients (25%) the diagnosis was established only at autopsy. In other more frequent causes of acute gastric hemorrhage the diagnosis proved to be feasible in 90-95% of cases.
