Isolated jejunal varices, a rare cause of portal hypertension, can lead to severe gastrointestinal bleeding. Surgical resection of the affected jejunum effectively stopped bleeding in a young patient, with no recurrence observed.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Portal hypertension can lead to gastrointestinal bleeding from varices.
  • Jejunal varices are an uncommon but serious manifestation of portal hypertension.

Observation:

  • A 1.5-year-old boy presented with recurrent, massive gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Exploratory laparotomy identified the source as jejunal varices.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention involving jejunal resection and anastomosis was performed.
  • The procedure resulted in complete resolution of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Implications:

  • Jejunal resection and anastomosis is an effective treatment for bleeding jejunal varices.
