Abstract:
Duodenal diverticular bleeding is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. We herein report a case of life-threatening duodenal diverticular bleeding with hypovolemic shock. Identifying the source of the hemorrhaging was difficult, and repeated endoscopic examinations - one colonoscopy and three esophagogastroduodenoscopy sessions - were required before the source was finally detected inside the diverticulum located in the third part of the duodenum. Hemostasis was successfully achieved using the hemoclips. Our case highlights the need to consider duodenal diverticulum bleeding in cases of suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding without a clear source of bleeding.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
