Abstract

Gastric mucosal prolapse occurs when a portion of the mucosa of the stomach herniates into the esophagus, resulting in massive hemorrhage. A 19-year-old man presented on two occasions with an upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage as a result of this syndrome. He was definitively treated with a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. This case report outlines his presentation, defines and details gastric mucosal prolapse, and discusses the treatment of this syndrome with laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
