ABSTRACT
Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) syndrome is an uncommon cause of chronic gastrointestinal bleeding and iron deficiency anaemia. We describe two cases of GAVE, one pernicious anaemia related and the other portal hypertension related. In both the cases, progressive mucosal changes, which lead to development of GAVE, were documented. Those changes were progression of multiple antral erythematous spots into linear configuration and lastly to watermelon stomach. One of the cases was treated with tranexamic acid with good response.
