    Abstract:
    A case of bleeding duodenal varix which was treated successfully with endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) is reported. The patient developed a hemorrhage from a varix in the descending portion of the duodenum two months after EIS for esophageal varices, and hemostasis was achieved using EIS with an intravericeal injection of 1% polidocanol. The duodenal varix decreased in size after EIS. Two months after EIS, a splenectomy was performed. During a 14-month follow up period after the EIS for the duodenal varix, there was no recurrent bleeding.
