Aneminin Nadir Rastlanan Bir Nedeni: Cameron Ülseri

Cameron ülseri, geniş hiatal herni kesesi içerisindeki gastrik mukozal katlantılarda lineer uzanan ülserdir. Üst gastrointestinal sistem (GIS) endoskopisi ile incelenen hiatal hernili olguların %5"inde görülür. Cameron ülserinin klinik önemi, GIS kanama ve anemiye neden olabilme potansiyelinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Aile Hekimliği polikliniğinde demir eksikliği anemisi tanısı konulan ve etyolojiye yönelik araştırma esnasında yapılan üst GIS endoskopisinde Cameron ülseri saptanan bir vaka sunulmuştur.

An Unusual Cause of Anemia: Cameron Ulcer

Cameron ulcer is a linear gatric ulser on the mucosal folds in patients with a large hiatal hernia. Cameron ulcer could be seen in 5% of patients with hiatal hernia who undergo upper gastrointestinal system (GIS) endoscopy examination. The clinical relevance of Cameron ulcer is due to its potential complications such as GIS bleeding and anemia. In this report a case who was applied to Family Medicine outpatient clinics with the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia and determined Cameron ulser at upper gastroentestinal endoscopy was presented.
