Abstract:
A case of extremely severe haemorrhage due to acute ulcer of the first duodenum, occured following cesarean section, was reported. On the basis of this case, the authors have examined the bearing of the gravidopuerperal conditions on the course of gastroduodenal ulcers: dramatic improvement during pregnancy, progression with attacks occuring sometimes very early in the postpartum. Acute ulcers should be most definitely distinguished, as their etiopathogenetical mechanism is quite special, as their localization in the first duodenum should be known in order to apply a necessary haemostasis.
