    Abstract:
    Duodenal variceal rupture is rare, and there is little agreement on the best therapeutic option. A 72-year old man treated for liver cirrhosis with HCV visited the emergency room complaining of dizziness and tarry stool. Fiberscope images showed varices (F2CbRC+) with white plaques at the horizontal region of the duodenum. The patient was treated using endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL), and no more bleeding has been detected.
