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 duodenal 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]
Natural History

- The symptoms of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome usually develop in the third decade of life. Without treatment, the patient will develop symptoms of gastrinoma, which may eventually lead to anemia and death.[3]
Complications
