In about two thirds of the cases, multiple Cameron lesions are noted rather than a solitary erosion or ulcer. Historically, Cameron lesions present clinically with chronic GI bleeding and associated iron deficiency anemia.
Cameron lesion is a rare cause of occult upper GI bleed. Cameron lesions are linear gastric ulcers or erosions on the mucosal folds at the diaphragmatic impression in patients with a large hiatal hernia. Cameron lesions were first described in 1986 by Cameron and Higgins.
Cameron lesions, as defined by erosions and ulcerations at the diaphragmatic hiatus, are found in the setting of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in patients with a hiatus hernia (HH). The study aim was to determine the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of Cameron lesions.
Gastric ulcer, unspecified as acute or chronic, without hemorrhage or perforation. K25. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K25.
Cameron lesions are linear gastric ulcers or erosions on the mucosal folds at the diaphragmatic impression in patients with a large hiatal hernia [5]. They are found on the lesser curve of the stomach at the level of the diaphragmatic hiatus.
It was proposed that the lesions were caused by mechanical trauma at the level of constriction by the diaphragm Cameron lesions were found in 42% of persons with anemia compared to 24% in those without anemia, a statistically significant difference, p<0.05.
First-line treatment of Cameron lesions are long-term high-dose PPI and iron supplement. However, persistent anaemia and re-bleeding is seen in about 20% of patients. In such cases, surgical treatment with retraction of the hernia, closure of the weakness in the diaphragm and fundoplication may be necessary.
Cameron lesions are a rare cause of upper GI bleeding that is localized to the gastric body mucosa of patients with large hiatal hernias. It causes occult bleeding and chronic iron-deficiency anemia. These lesions are often missed on initial endoscopy and can cause fatal complications.
In a hiatal hernia, the stomach bulges up into the chest through that opening. There are two main types of hiatal hernias: sliding and paraesophageal (next to the esophagus). In a sliding hiatal hernia, the stomach and the section of the esophagus that joins the stomach slide up into the chest through the hiatus.
Conclusions: Large hiatal hernia may cause iron deficiency anaemia, even without Cameron erosions. Surgery in combination with proton pump inhibitor therapy is no better than proton pump inhibitor therapy alone in preventing the recurrence of anaemia.
A hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of your stomach bulges through the large muscle separating your abdomen and chest (diaphragm). Your diaphragm has a small opening (hiatus) through which your food tube (esophagus) passes before connecting to your stomach.
Cushing's ulcer is a gastro-duodenal ulcer produced by elevated intracranial pressure caused by an intracranial tumor, head injury or other space-occupying lesion.
Q40. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Q40. 1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The bottom line is that ulcers can be the result of hiatal hernias. In most cases, however, medicine and surgery can restore normal conditions, including reducing, and possibly eliminating, the problem of stomach acid coming back into the esophagus.
Hiatal hernias were classified as small if their size ranged from 2 to 4 cm and large if > or = 5 cm.
A Cameron lesion is a linear erosion or ulceration of the mucosal folds lining the stomach where it is constricted by the thoracic diaphragm in persons with large hiatal hernias . The lesions may cause chronic blood loss resulting in iron deficiency anemia; less often they cause acute bleeding.
Cameron lesions, often multiple, were found at or near the level where the herniated stomach was constricted by the diaphragm. The lesions were typically white, superficial, linear, and oriented along the crests of inflamed appearing mucosal folds (figure 2). Small amounts of blood were often seen on the lesions (Fig 3).
Treatment. Anemia associated with Cameron lesions usually responds to oral iron medication, which may be needed for years. Gastric acid suppression may promote lesion healing and a proton-pump inhibitor such as omeprazole is often prescribed.
One explanation is that endoscopists unfamiliar with their appearance can miss the lesions However, in the original description of Cameron lesions they were found in less than half the patients despite careful search, and no other causes of gastrointestinal bleeding. were seen.
Acute bleeding from Cameron lesions, vomiting blood, or passing black bowel movements, is rare; in one report Cameron lesions were found in 3.8% of people presenting with anemia, but in only 0.2% of those with acute bleeding. Small hernias with 2–5 cm of stomach above the diaphragm are commoner than large hernias but Cameron lesions are usually ...
