Abstract
Only 4% of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the elderly is due to ulcerative esophagitis, and only rarely has nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) related esophageal bleeding been reported. We describe a case of NSAID induced ulcerative esophagitis in an 87-year-old woman with documented esophageal dysmotility.
