Case description

It is observed the sclerotherapy needle, injecting absolut alcohol on the anterior wall of the duodenal bulb. Despite advances in medical management, gastrointestinal bleeding remains a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality. At risk are patients with history of the event, those taking nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents, and those with active peptic ulcer disease. Endoscopy may be performed for diagnosis and treatment. Antisecretory therapy may be employed to control gastric acid secretion, treat active peptic ulcer disease, and control symptoms such as abdominal pain.
