Case description

Retroflexed view. Peptic ulcer in these patients is very often asymptomatic and associated with concurrent complications, especially in those with more severe liver disease. The complication rate in recurrent ulcers was 20%-25%. However, due to the retrospective nature of this study, after ulcer healing the endoscopic follow-up was irregular. Regularly repeated endoscopy should be carried out in patients with liver cirrhosis and peptic ulcer to diagnose new and recurrent ulcers and to prevent related complications.
