Abstract		Gastrointestinal hemorrhage is a frequent problem of emergency medicine and a significant cause: of morbidity and mortality. Urgent endoscopy with different hemostatic procedures and modern supportive treatment in specialised intensive care units have significantly improved the outcome of: these patients. In the paper the authors present some epidemiological data of patients with Mallory-Weiss syndrome, a laceration at the esophagogastric junction. This upper digestive tract bleeding source has frequently a typical clinical picture and as a rule a favourable outcome of endoscopic ad supportive treatment.
