    Author: Patanè R, Bottaro G, Ricca O, Iudica ML, Nicosia A, Iudica MC.
    Journal: Pediatr Med Chir; 1984; 6(5):719-23. PubMed ID: 6535140.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe a case of Cushing's duodenal ulcer associated with Encephalitis. Diagnosis was made as the following criteria: neurological manifestations (fever, seizures, coma) and clinical manifestations of ulcer (hematemesis and melena); endoscopic evidence of ulcer and demonstration of increased gastric acid secretion; direct correlation between neurological lesion and duodenal ulcer. The good therapeutic result obtained with Ranitidine was noteworthy. The high dosage (20 mg/kg/die) allowed the control of the bleeding and the ulcer cicatrization.
