Dieulafoy’s lesion (DL) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition, which can result in sudden, massive gastrointestinal bleeding. The water immersion technique can be helpful in localizing the source of active bleeding during an endoscopy. Herein, we present a case of gastrointestinal bleeding due to jejunal DL found on a video capsule endoscopy (VCE). We describe the use of the water immersion technique in localization and treatment of actively bleeding DL during single-balloon enteroscopy.
