Ectopic varices in portal hypertension.
Varices most commonly occur and bleed in the gastro-esophageal region but ectopic varices can arise at extra-gastro-esophageal locations in the gastrointestinal tract like duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon, rectum, biliary tree and at the site of a surgical ostomy. These varices pose diagnostic as well as therapeutic challenges during endoscopic procedures. Ectopic varices can also occur outside ...
متن کاملEctopic Varices in Colonic Stoma: MDCT Findings
Ectopic stomal varices are an unusual cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The term "ectopic stomal varices" means abnormally dilated veins that have developed in the stomal mucosa. We describe the 2D reformatted and 3D volume rendered images by MDCT in a patient with an episode of acute bleeding from the colonic stoma. This case indicates that the 2D reformatted and 3D volume rendered images ...
متن کاملUpdates in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of ectopic varices
Ectopic varices (EcV) comprise large portosystemic venous collaterals located anywhere other than the gastro-oesophageal region. No large series or randomized-controlled trials address this subject, and therefore its management is based on available expertise and facilities, and may require a multidisciplinary team approach. EcV are common findings during endoscopy in portal hypertensive patien...
متن کاملEndoscopic Management of Bleeding Ectopic Varices With Histoacryl
Bleeding from antral and duodenal varices is an uncommon feature in patients with portal hypertension. We report a patient with cirrhosis and portal vein thrombosis, who had a massive bleed from antral and duodenal varices. Bleeding was controlled with endoscopic injection of varices using histoacryl. Endoscopic treatment and the relatively uncommon occurrence of antral and duodenal varices are...
متن کاملEctopic varices: Hidden challenges in the vascular anatomy.
A 50 yo female with PSC and a bleeding duodenal varix (DV) was evaluated for possible enbucrilate therapy. Endoscopically (Figure 1), the DV was high risk for rebleeding but the relative in-flow and out-flow were uncertain. CT (Figure 2) showed portal vein thrombosis (PVT) and the vascular anatomy of the DV to consist of inflow from the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) with outflow through the DV...
