Abstract
A previously healthy 40-year-old woman came to our emergency department because of acute epigastric and tarry stools. Her vital signs were stable, and physical examination did not disclose other abnormalities. The blood sampling showed a normal level of haemoglobin and normal coagulation profile. Panendoscopy was performed under the impression that upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage was present, and there was no definite abnormality in the oesophagus and stomach except a double lumen identified in the second portion of the duodenum.
