Successful emergency enterectomy for bleeding ileal varices in a patient with liver cirrhosis.

چکیده
We report a rare case of bleeding ileal varices successfully treated with emergency enterectomy. A 72-year old woman with hepatic cirrhosis due to hepatitis C was admitted to our hospital because of anemia and hematochezia. An endoscopic examination showed no evidence of bleeding in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts. Angiographic studies of portal hemodynamics revealed extravasation from the ileal varices and total occlusion of the portal vein due to portal thrombus. This made it difficult to remove the ileal varices using interventional radiology. Therefore, the patient underwent emergency enterectomy for the ileal varices. No further gastrointestinal bleeding occurred during the 1-year follow-up.

The bleeding of peristomal varices due to a portosystemic shunt is rare but potentially life-threatening in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension. The scarce case reports in the literature recommend transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) to prevent further bleeding. We report on a 72-year-old man who was referred to our hospital because of life-threatening bleeding from peri...
متن کاملBleeding jejunal varices and portal thrombosis in a splenectomized patient with hereditary spherocytosis.
Bleeding from varices located in the small bowel is a very uncommon finding; nonetheless, such events accompany with a high mortality rate (1–4). Moreover, early diagnosis of jejunal or ileal varices cannot usually be accomplished with standard diagnostic tools (ie, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy). Most reports in the literature relate to subjects with liver cirrhosis, often with hepat...
