Core Tip Dieulafoy lesions (DLs) are vascular abnormalities consisting of tortuous, dilated aberrant submucosal vessels. We present a 10-year-old girl with acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to a DL. We used electrocoagulation and hemoclips under endoscopy for hemostasis. This case highlights that while DLs in children are rare, they can be an important cause of sudden gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Many pediatricians are inexperienced and often miss or delay diagnosis. Endoscopy as early as possible is the first choice for diagnosis and treatment.
