Abstract EN
Bleeding from ectopic varices, which is rare in patients with portal hypertension, is generally massive and life-threatening.
Forty-three patients were hospitalized in our ward for gastrointestinal bleeding from ectopic varices.
The frequency of ectopic varices was 43/1218 (3.5%) among portal hypertensive patients in our ward.
The locations of the ectopic varices were rectal in thirty-two, duodenal in three, intestinal in two, vesical in three, stomal in one, and colonic in two patients.
Endoscopic or interventional radiologic treatment was performed successfully for ectopic varices.
Hemorrhage from ectopic varices should be kept in mind in patients with portal hypertension presenting with lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
