Upper-GI bleeding (UGIB) is a common problem and is defined as hemorrhage originating proximal to the ligament of Treitz. The disease is divided into nonvariceal and variceal subtypes. Common causes of nonvariceal UGIB include ulcers of the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum; mucosal erosions; Mallory-Weiss tears; and malignancy.¹ Unusual causes such as Cameron lesions, Dieulafoy lesions, subepithelial lesions, gastric antral vascular ectasia, hemobilia, and vascular-enteric fistulas are less frequently encountered.
