Dieulafoy’s lesion – A rare case of jejunal aneurysm

ABSTRACT

Despite being a rare condition, Dieulafoy's lesion, also known as the persistent artery, is a serious cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Only 1–2% of acute gastrointestinal bleeding is caused by it. Most commonly affects the stomach and duodenum, rarely affecting jejunum, ileum, caecum, etc. Our case presents a 21-year-old male who presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to jejunal dieulafoy’s lesion.
