ABSTRACT
Gastric erosions or ulcers located at or near the level of the neck of a large diaphragmatic hernias are referred to as Cameron ulcers. Cameron ulcers are almost always incidental findings. In some patient, Cameron ulcers cause the dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease and iron deficiency anemia due to chronic gastrointestinal bleeding or even acute bleeding. We report the case of an acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a Cameron ulcer in a patient with a history of aspirin and NSIADs use, which was successfully treated with angiographic coil embolization.
