- Abstract
An 80 year old woman presented with a two year history of vomiting, increasingly severe epigastric discomfort after eating, and 1.5 stone weight loss. The vomiting episodes were intermittent, with individual episodes lasting for approximately 48 hours. During these periods she was unable to tolerate food or liquid and on occasions described small amounts of coffee ground haematemesis. Initial investigation included a chest radiograph. Subsequently she went on to have a further radiological investigation.
