  • Title: [The role of sclerotherapy in the treatment of esophageal varices in children].
    Author: Bochnia M, Ziemski Z, Rak J, Dziewiszek W.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Pol; 1992; 46(2):156-60. PubMed ID: 1501902.
    Abstract:
    The authors presented the actual views and their own results of using sclerotherapy in children with oesophageal varices. Oesophageal varices exist almost every time as a most dangerous complication in patients with portal hypertension. Acute haemorrhage caries a high mortality and the extremely important priority is control of bleeding as soon as possible. Traditional conservative methods of treatment often do not improve long-term survival and portal systematic shunt is rarely possible in patients under the age of 10. Because of it sclerotherapy may be proposed as a treatment of choice for children with oesophageal varices.
