    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Hepatology
    • Vascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Gastric varices, particularly fundal varices, are recognized complications of portal hypertension.
    • Antral varices are significantly less common and infrequently reported in medical literature.

    Observation:

    • A 61-year-old male patient presented with symptoms indicative of gastrointestinal bleeding.
    • Diagnostic imaging revealed the presence of both gastric antral varices and esophageal varices.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with portal hypertension secondary to advanced hepatic cirrhosis.
    • The combination of antral and esophageal varices was attributed to the underlying portal hypertension.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering gastric varices, including the rarer antral type, in patients with portal hypertension.
  • Accurate diagnosis and understanding of the etiology are crucial for managing patients with complex variceal presentations.
