Hemosuccus pancreaticus (HP) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, characterized by upper gastrointestinal bleeding from the ampulla of Vater, often originating from a ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the peripancreatic arteries. Despite its rarity, HP presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its elusive clinical presentation and complex underlying pathophysiology. In this case report, we presented a compelling instance of HP, diagnosed in a 48-year-old man, complicated with gastrointestinal bleeding and severe anemia successfully managed with urgent endovascular intervention. We highlighted the importance of early recognition, prompt intervention, and interdisciplinary collaboration in achieving favorable outcomes in patients afflicted by this distinctly unusual condition.

Introduction Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a standard surgical procedure that general surgeons perform to treat acute cholecystitis. The presentation of this condition can vary in severity due to preoperative and intraoperative risk factors. Intraoperative scales such as the Parkland Grading Scale (PGS), Nassar Scale (NS), and G10 Score (G10S) evaluate these aspects.

Severe injuries and some pathologies associated with massive bleeding, such as maternal hemorrhage, gastrointestinal and perioperative bleeding, and rupture of an aneurysm, often lead to major blood loss and the development of hemorrhagic shock. A sharp decrease in circulating blood volume triggers a vicious cycle of vasoconstriction and coagulopathy leading to ischemia of all internal organs and, in severe decompensated states, ischemia of the brain and heart. The basis of tissue damage and dysfunction in hemorrhagic shock is an interruption in the supply of oxygen and substrates for energy production to the cells, making the mitochondria a source and target of oxidative stress and proapoptotic signaling.

We report in this clinical case Mallory-Weiss syndrome suspected on computed tomography (CT) and confirmed on endoscopy. Mallory-Weiss syndrome is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding from vomiting-induced mucosal laceration(s) at the gastroesophageal junction. The description of Mallory-Weiss Syndrome is rare on imaging and this observation provides CT semiological elements useful in detecting signs of Mallory-Weiss syndrome.

Despite advancements in prevention and treatment, peptic ulcer disease (PUD) remains a public health burden, with potentially high mortality rates when not managed properly. Recent studies indicate bleeding as the most prevalent complication, followed by perforation or penetration into adjacent organs and pyloric obstruction. In rare cases, posterior wall or greater curvature ulcers of the stomach can penetrate, leading to splenic artery pseudoaneurysms.

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare congenital clinical syndrome characterized by venous malformations in multiple organs, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and lungs. In June 2022, Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University admitted a rare case of BRBNS. The patient was hospitalized due to abdominal distension and a history of recurrent hematochezia.
