Abstract
A full-term newborn, during his first day of life, presented acute onset of gastrointestinal bleeding. After analyzing the case, including endoscopic evaluation and biopsy, the diagnosis of gastric and duodenal ulcers was made. The patient had conservative treatment. The bleeding and ulcers resolved over time, but the etiology remains uncertain.
