Abstract

Among the many reasons for the development of iron deficiency anemia, chronic blood loss from Cameron ulcers, developing with hiatal hernias, is gaining increasing clinical significance. Nevertheless, doctors of various specialties still have limited knowledge about the role of this pathology in the depletion of the iron depot, the specifics of instrumental verification of the diagnosis, and the possibilities of surgical technologies in the complex treatment of patients with this disease. The described case illustrates the long-term course of severe iron deficiency anemia in a patient with hiatal hernia (type III) due to latent blood loss from Cameron ulcers. The use of a therapeutic algorithm, which included complex conservative therapy followed by laparoscopic surgery to eliminate the hiatal hernia, led to a complete recovery of the patient.
