ABSTRACT
A 46-year-old patient presented to the department with symptoms suggestive of an exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis. The patient had a history of numerous afflictions associated with alcoholism, such as chronic pancreatitis, hepatic steatosis, erosive gastritis, duodenal ulcers, esophageal hiatal hernia, and Mallory-Weiss syndrome. This case reports on recurrent episodes of intractable hemorrhage in the course of Mallory-Weiss syndrome.
