Bleeding duodenal ulcer with ovarian torsion-a rare presentation in neonates. Massive upper gastrointestinal bleed is an emergency in newborns. Common causes are coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia. Stress-induced duodenal ulcer has also been reported as an unusual cause for massive upper gastrointestinal bleed. Managing such cases requires correct diagnosis and prompt treatment to prevent catastrophic complications. We report a case of bleeding duodenal ulcer probably secondary to ovarian torsion.
