The article presents a case study of a 30-year-old male diagnosed with acute abdomen. It states that the patient suffered from acute abdomen following duodenal biopsy taken at esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). According to the authors, the hemorrhage is probably to have been caused by the tearing of one of the pancreaticoduodenal arteries.
