[Prenatal gastrointestinal bleeding caused by oesophagitis]

ABSTRACT

Upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding in the neonate is usually related to gastritis and esophagitis. Fewer cases of prenatal gastrointestinal tract bleeding diagnosis are reported, showing that gastric peptic lesions can occur in the prenatal period. We report a case of a prenatal oesophagitis revealed at 35 weeks of gestation by the presence of bloody amniotic fluid that was confirmed by endoscopy at birth
