We present a 74-year-old woman, who developed massive haematemesis and hypovolaemic shock. Her management was challenging, as the bleeding site could not be identified during oesophagogastroduodenoscopy, she was not fit for a general anaesthesia and not able to lie flat due to heart failure, caused by pericardial effusion. She underwent an emergency laparotomy and gastrotomy under a combined thoracic epidural and lumbar spinal regional anaesthesia in a sitting position, 45° to horizontal plane. The bleeding site was identified as a Dieulafoy lesion on the posterior wall of the stomach and was controlled by under running the lesion. She had an uneventful recovery and is symptom-free post-surgery for a year at present.

Introduction: Musculocontractural Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (mcEDS) is a rare autosomal recessive connective tissue disorder caused by systemic depletion of dermatan sulfate. Symptoms characteristic of mcEDS include multiple contractures, fragile skin with subcutaneous bleeding, and hypermobile joints, which suggest difficulty in perioperative management. However, safe surgical techniques and perioperative management of this disorder remain unknown because of its rarity.

Background: Uterine cystic adenomyosis (CA) is a unique form of adenomyosis with a single or fused lumen of the cystic space exceeding a diameter of 1 cm that typically results in progressively worsening dysmenorrhea. In most cases, the prognosis and pregnancy outcomes of CA remained unclear, and therefore further studies are warranted.
