Esophageal varices in chronic intestinal insufficiency in absence of portal hypertension or liver cirrhosis: case report.

Abstract:

:We report the case of a 62-year-old man with short-bowel syndrome, referred for intestinal transplantation, who had esophageal varices (EV) due to superior vena cava (SVC) thrombosis. Pretransplantation work-up revealed protein S deficiency. Results of liver function tests were normal. Upper endoscopy showed grade II to III EV in the upper and middle segments of the esophagus. Computed tomography demonstrated thrombosis of the jugular, subclavian, and SVC veins and marked collateral vessels in the chest. Transient elastography yielded normal findings. A liver biopsy specimen showed a normal aspect of the liver, without fibrosis or liver cirrhosis. Presence of EV in a patient with chronic intestinal insufficiency may be related to collateral venous circulation associated with SVC thrombosis in the absence of portal hypertension. In this situation, an isolated intestinal graft is indicated.
