Gastric haemorrhage in acute intracranial vascular accidents: submitted for the William Leslie Prize in Medicine

Seven cases are described of gastrointestinal haemorrhage occurring in association with a cerebro- vascular accident. In five instances the intracranial lesion was a cerebral haemorrhage, and in two it was a subarachnoid haemor- rhage. Haematemesis occurred in five cases, and melaena in one ; in the seventh case no clinical evidence of bleeding was obtained, but blood was found in the stomach at autopsy.
