Introduction And Importance: Dieulafoy's lesion is a rare but serious cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, typically affecting older adults. It involves an aberrant arteriole eroding the gastric mucosa, resulting in severe, recurrent bleeding that poses diagnostic and management challenges. We present a case report of massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability associated with a Dieulafoy's lesion.

Dieulafoy lesions are a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, characterized by an enlarged submucosal blood vessel that bleeds without visible abnormalities. The diagnosis is typically made via endoscopy, and treatment usually involves endoscopic therapy. This case involves a 46-year-old female who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a Dieulafoy's lesion, treated with band ligation and later embolization after the lesion was found to originate from the left phrenic artery.

Background: A Dieulafoy's lesion in the jejunum is at an uncommon site but may be the cause of massive gastrointestinal bleeding. It is characterized by a large, tortuous submucosal artery that erodes the overlying epithelium and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its atypical location and presentation.
Case: A 30-year-old male presented with sudden onset syncope and the passage of 200-300 ml of red blood-mixed stool.
