Endoscopic laser-coagulation was used 94 times in 14 patients to stop gastro-intestinal bleeding or coagulate potential bleeding sources during non-bleeding intervals. Lasting haemostasis was achieved in three cases of incomplete gastric erosion, one of gastric ulcer, one of duodenal ulcer and one of bleeding after antral rugectomy. It failed to stop severe arterial bleeding in a case of gastric carcinoma. Lasting haemostasis was achieved in six haemangiomas of the colon, one case of angiomatosis of the antrum with 62 individual sites, two of angiodysplasia of the colon, 17 lesions in Osler's disease of the oesophagus (2 cases), stomach (10) and duodenum (5). The procedure was performed in the course of diagnostic endoscopy with an argon-ion laser developed by the authors, which has a density of 0.7-1.3 W/mm2. No complications have been observed so far.

A 48-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with hematemesis and a 6-month history of unsteady gait and falls due to tripping. Because of a history of alcohol abuse, the initial diagnosis was upper gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to alcoholic gastritis or gastric ulcer, with the neuropathy likely due to alcoholism or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. After further neurological examination and careful review of nerve conduction studies, however, an inherited neuropathy was suspected. Despite denial by the patient and her daughter of a family history of neuropathy, both had a pes cavus deformity with muscle atrophy and partial foot drop gait. Subsequent testing of the daughter revealed the same nerve conduction findings as the patient's. Genetic testing showed that both women had the myelin PMP22 repeat defect characteristic of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Endoscopy revealed that the patient had Osler-Weber-Rendu disease, which accounted for the hematemesis.
