| Abstract: | A double-contrast upper gastrointestinal examination on a woman who had undergone endoscopic heater probe therapy one day earlier for multiple arteriovenous malformations revealed shallow, irregular, and linear ulcers at the sites of heater probe coagulation. Multiple shallow ulcers may therefore develop as a direct complication of heater probe therapy. Radiologists should be aware of this complication to avoid diagnostic confusion in these patients. |
