Summary:

• Radiopaedia case ID: 34216
• Image ID: 10961591
• Image stack position: 5/73
• Plane projection: Axial
• Aux modality: C+ arterial phase
• Modality: CT
• System: Gastrointestinal
• Findings: On the arterial and portal venous phase images there is a 1 cm region of vivid enhancement in the first part of duodenum, that was not present on the non-contrast images. This region receives supply from the gastroduodenal artery. No intraluminal contrast extravasation is seen elsewhere in the bowel. Gallstones incidentally noted. The liver, spleen, pancreas and right kidney are unremarkable. The left kidney is mildly atrophic with regions of cortical scarring. A small left and tiny right pleural effusion is noted. Conclusion: The site of active hemorrhage is localized to the proximal duodenum.
