A. Symptoms
1. Abdominal pain, bloating, septic shock and blood type O positive
In a clinical, retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study of
patients who were treated at the General Hospital of Mexico with a
diagnosis of perforated peptic ulcer from January 2006 to December 2008
of 30 patients with an average age of 57.07 years (± 14.2 years). The
male:female ratio was 2:1, found that the risk of developing
postoperative complications was 66.7% and is significantly influenced by
time of onset of abdominal pain prior to admission, bloating, septic shock and blood type O positive.
Mortality was 16.7% and was correlated with the presence of septic
shock on admission. The surgical procedure performed was primary closure
with Graham patch in 86.6%. Average hospital stay was 12.8 days(1).
2. Dyspepsia
Dyspepsia, may be the first symptom of peptic ulcer disease (an ulcer of
the stomach or duodenum), is the medical term for difficult digestion.
It consists of various symptoms in the upper abdomen, such as fullness,
discomfort, early satiation, bloating, heartburn, belching, nausea,
vomiting, or pain. Organic causes of dyspepsia are peptic ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux disease,
gastric or esophageal cancer, pancreatic or biliary disorders,
intolerance to food or drugs, and other infectious or systemic
diseases(2).
3. Blood in stool
As a result of upper gastrointestinal bleeding
4. Nausea and vomiting
there is a report on a 78-year-old female patient, who presented to the
emergency department with nausea and vomiting. Investigations: Endoscopy
of the upper gastrointestinal tract revealed gastric erosions and
duodenal ulcers(3).
5. Bleeding
There is a report of a 50-year-old female was admitted to our hospital
with dizziness and tarry stools. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy
revealed bleeding from a gastric ulcer, and endoscopic hemostasis by
endoscopic clipping was carried out(4)
5. Unintentional weight loss
Benign gastro-colic fistula is a rare occurrence in modern surgery due
to the progress in medical management of gastric ulcer disease. There
is a report of an 84-year-old woman of Caucasian background presented
with 12 months of worsening abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
and weight loss on a background of known gastric ulcer disease(5).
