Overview
If left untreated, patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome may progress to develop abdominal pain, diarrhea, and heartburn[1]. Common complications of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome include upper gastrointestinal bleeding, anemia, and [gastric ulcer perforation]. Prognosis is generally good, and the 5 and 10-year survival rate of patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is approximately 94% and 75%, respectively.[2]
