Summary:The authors have analyzed 25 observations of patients with the Mallory-Weiss syndrome which made up 3,04% of all the patients with gastroduodenal bleedings. The authors emphasize the role of the endoscopic method for examining the patients to diagnose this pathology. The most rational method is believed to be the conservative treatment.

All the patients recovered.
