Case description

Another image and video of the multiple ulcers with blood clots. Peptic ulcer disease is one of the most common diseases affecting the GI tract. It causes inflammatory injuries in either the gastric or duodenal mucosa, with extension beyond the submucosa into the muscularis mucosa. The etiologies of this condition are multifactorial and are rarely related simply to excessive acid secretion. Even though gastric ulcer is a common disease, diagnosis can be difficult because it has a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, ranging from asymptomatic to vague epigastric pain, nausea, and iron-deficiency anemia to acute life-threatening hemorrhage.
