Preface

Dieulafoy’s lesion is an exceptional condition engendering massive haemorrhage of the upper gastrointestinal tract on account of vascular anomalies which initiate an acute, fatal condition with inadequate haemostasis. The disorder configures around < 2% of gastrointestinal haemorrhages and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality when appropriate discernment and efficacious treatment or standard endoscopic manoeuver is delayed.
