Abstract EN
We present an 8-year-old boy who was referred to our center with the complaint of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and was diagnosed with hypersplenism and progressive esophageal varices.
Performing a computerized tomography (CT) scan, we discovered a suspicious finding in the venography phase in favor of thrombosis in the splenic vein.
Once complementary examinations were done and due to recurrent bleeding and band ligation failure, the patient underwent splenectomy.
And during the one-year follow-up obvious improvement of the esophageal varices was observed in endoscopy.
