Abstract:
Bleeding from gastric varices is an uncommon condition for which hemostatic control is difficult and ill defined. Most clinicians tend to achieve hemostasis by endoscopic treatment because of the prevailing poor general condition of these patients. A case of fundal perforation following excessive injection sclerotherapy is reported and possible mechanism discussed.
