MELO PENALOZA, Mauricio e GALIANO DE SANCHEZ, María Teresa. Ectopic Varices in the Proximal Jejunum Associated with Recurrent Bleeding in a Patient without Cirrhosis of the Liver. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2014, vol.29, n.4, pp.439-445. ISSN 0120-9957.
Ectopic varices (EV) in the jejunum are a rare vascular disorder which is associated with portal hypertension (5%). It is even rarer when it occurs without associated portal hypertension. We report a case of a patient without portal hypertension who had had chronic intestinal bleeding from varices located in the proximal jejunum for several years. We report the patient’s clinical development, elements used for diagnosis and the surgical treatment
Palavras-chave : Portal hypertension; jejunal varices; occult and obscure intestinal bleeding.
