Cameron Lesions

Acute oesophageal necrosis, black oesophagus (BE) or Gurvits syndrome (GS) is a rare form of severe oesophagitis appearing as a striking circumferential discolouration of distal mucosa with various proximal extensions abruptly terminating at the gastro-oesophageal junction. It is most commonly associated with acute exacerbations of medical comorbidities, while associations with altered gut anatomy are rare. We present a unique constellation of BE, Cameron ulcers (CU), and gastric volvulus from a large paraesophageal hiatal hernia. Our patient recently recovered from COVID-19 and was malnourished and frail, while the expanding paraesophageal hiatal hernia turned into an acute organoaxial gastric volvulus with accompanying outlet obstruction. In low-flow post-COVID coagulopathic states, compensatory mechanisms may lack against gastric stunning and sudden massive reflux on the oesophagus. We additionally performed a systematic review and discovered additional cases with coexistent volvulus and paraesophageal hernia, although there are no previous reports of BE with CU, which makes this study the first.

Esophageal Ulcers

Bleeding complications arise in 1/4 of patients with hiatal hernia and GERD, and are the cause in 10% of all acute and 1/3 of chronic foregut bleedings. Most common bleeding disorders directly related to hiatal hernia and GERD are: hiatal hernia ulcers, erosive esophagitis, esophageal ulcers, peptic strictures and Barrett esophagus. The aim of this review article is to point out a significance of proper diagnosis and treatment for conditions bonded with hiatal hernia and GERD which can lead to severe esophageal bleedings. Detailed etiology, incidence, diagnostic algorithm and treatment of Cameron lesions, prolapse gastropathy, erosive esophagitis, peptic esophageal ulcers and postoperative complications related to hiatal hernia and GERD are presented in this article.

Cameron Lesions

Introduction. Cameron lesions are linear gastric ulcers or erosions positioned on the crests of mucosal folds at the diaphragmatic impression, in patients with large hiatal hernia, and can cause iron deficiency anaemia. Case report. We present a case of a 56-year-old woman who was referred to our institution for further investigation after she was examined in gastroenterology emergency room (GER) for signs and symptoms of severe hypochromic microcytic anemia without signs of acute gastrointestinal bleeding and with no obvious cause of chronic blood loss. Endoscopy showed linear ulceration at the level of diaphragm-Cameron lesions with large hiated hernia. She was treated with proton pump inhibitors and iron supplements. The laparoscopic fundoplication was done. Six months later she was asymptomatic. Conclusion. Large hiatus hernia may cause iron deficiency anemia due to occult bleeding from Cameron erosions. The current therapy concept includes the surgical reconstruction of the hiatus together with gastric fundoplication in combination with the proton pump inhibitor therapy.

Cameron Lesions

BACKGROUND: Cameron lesions are seen in 5.2% of patients with hiatal hernia who undergo esophagogastroduodenoscopic examinations. The prevalence of Cameron lesions seems to be dependent on the size of the hernial sac, with an increased prevalence in the larger-sized sac. In about two-thirds of the cases, multiple Cameron lesions are noted rather than a solitary erosion or ulcer. AIM: The aim of this case report is to present the patient with Cameron ulcers associated with hiatal hernia. CASE PRESENTATION: Our patient presented with postprandial retrosternal pain, especially immediately after eating, vomiting, dyspnea, weight loss, fatigue, signs, and symptoms of severe hypochromic microcytic anemia without signs of acute gastrointestinal bleeding. No history of gastroesophageal disease. Colonoscopy was done and eliminate colic cause of anemia. The endoscopy showed a large hiatal hernia and linear erosions and ulcerations at the level of gastrodiaphragmatic contact (Cameron ulcers) and one non-sanguinant subcardial elipsoid ulceration. After conservative and operative treatment, there was significant clinically and laboratory improvement definitively, after 6 months. Cameron lesion is a rare cause of refractory sideropenic anemia. Diagnosis is very difficult in developing countries, where iron deficiency anemia is more common. A history of disease, clinical course, and laboratory findings are the important facts for diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Endoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis, although it is not uncommon to overlook these lesions due to their unique location. There are two modalities for the treatment of Cameron lesions: Medical or surgical, which should be individualized for each patient. By severe refractory anemia and large hiatal hernia, associated with clinical signs, surgical approach is very important.
