Core Tip	Patients with advanced liver disease are known to have a high rate of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, the cause of which is often left undetected. Our case series suggests that there may be an increased risk of small intestinal Dieulafoy lesions (DLs) in patients with cirrhosis. Although the pathophysiology of DLs is unknown, our case series of jejunal lesions in patients with cirrhosis raises the question of a potential alteration in the vasculature secondary to portal hypertension, as either an anatomical abnormality or due to a shift in angiogenic factors in these patients.
