Abstract
We report a 5-year-old girl who presented with persistent iron-deficiency anemia.
She had a history of abdominal pain and recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. Highresolution
computed tomography, esophagogastroduodenoscopy and barium
meal examination revealed a congenital diaphragmatic hernia with intermittent
gastric volvulus. The anemia was the result of Cameron lesions associated with
diaphragmatic hernia.
