Abstract
A case of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage in a newborn infant due to ulcerative esophagitis is described. This is a previously undescribed cause of upper gastrointestinal neonatal bleeding. This case further illustrates the safety and efficacy of fiberoptic endoscopy in elucidating the source of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the immediate newborn period.
