Double Dieulafoy-like lesion in the stomach

Dieulafoy's lesion is an uncommon cause of major gastrointestinal bleeding and may be difficult to recognize. It consists of an arteriole that protrudes through a tiny mucosal defect usually within 6 cm of the gastroesophageal junction on the lesser curve of the stomach. Despite widespread awareness of this entity, it remains a diagnostic challenge for gastroenterologists because of its small size and hidden location. Emergency endoscopy is the most effective method of diagnosing the disease. We report a patient, with double Dieulafoy-like lesion, who was successfully treated endoscopically using hemostatic clip application. The characteristics of the Dieulafoy's lesion, its current diagnosis, and its treatment are discussed.
