External Hemorrhage from a Portacaval Anastomosis in a Patient with Liver Cirrhosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Variceal bleeding is the major complication of portal hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis. Hemorrhage mainly occurs in gastrointestinal lumen. Extraluminal hemorrhages are quite rare, such as intraperitoneal hemorrhages. We aimed to present a variceal bleeding case from the anastomosis on the anterior abdominal wall, as an extraordinary bleeding location, in a patient with portal hypertension in whom there were no esophageal and gastric varices.

متن کاملEffect of Pitressin
POSTERIOR PITUITARY EXTRACT is known to lower the portal venous pressure in animalsl-3 and in man a similar effect has been demonstrated during the control of bleeding from esophageal varices with intravenous pitressin.44 It has been suggested that pitressin lowers portal pressure by increasing splanchnic resistance.7 The present communication concerns the effects of intravenous pitressin on sp...

The patients were fully alert and orientated to mental and n...
متن کاملPeptic Ulcer and Gastric Secretion in Patients with Liver Disease.
Patients with hepatic cirrhosis may bleed into the gut not only from oesophageal varices, but also from a chronic peptic ulcer or erosive gastritis (Palmer and Brick, 1953). It may thus be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of gastrointestinal haemorrhage in patients with hepatic cirrhosis, especially as it is generally agreed that there is a high incidence of peptic ulcer in such patients. ...

H EMORRHAGE from esophagogastric varices is probably the most lethal complication of portal hypertension secondary to cirrhosis of the liver. Because of the often progressive nature of the cirrhotic process, and because long-term results from large, carefully controlled series have only recently been available [7-71, the value of surgical corrective measures for portal hypertension and associat...
