    Author: Kaler SG, Westman JA, Bernes SM, Elsayed AM, Bowe CM, Freeman KL, Wu CD, Wallach MT.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 1993 Jan; 122(1):93-5. PubMed ID: 8419622.
    Abstract:
    We describe two infants with Menkes disease who had serious gastrointestinal bleeding from solitary gastric polyps. Hemorrhage in one patient was acute and proved fatal. Histopathologic examinations showed submucosal vascular ectasia with mucosal hyperplasia, edema, and ulceration. Gastric polyps may represent an underappreciated clinical abnormality in Menkes disease.
